Blythewood South Carolina has been broken down by its many neighborhoods such as: (ordered by the highest number of listings)  About Blythewood SC
Located 15 miles northeast of Columbia of South Carolina, Blythewood is the second fastest growing town in the Midlands. Rural living with big city convenience is just part of Blythewood’s charm. There are several large horse farms in the area with some of them holding events and competitions such as dressage in which local riders can compete. The Town of Blythewood, South Carolina, is located in the northern part of Richland County – one of the most affluent counties in South Carolina and named the second fastest growing community in the Midlands by the 1990 U.S. Census. Blythewood embraces its ‘small-town atmosphere’ while incorporating the residential, industrial and commercial growth in the I-77 corridor.
Blythewood is truly a unique community and one of the best-kept secrets in South Carolina. Its rural image is enhanced by the natural landscape, and residents' protection of the natural resources and respect for nature, animals and wild life. Blythewood is committed to its rural, small-town atmosphere with all the ‘big’ town advantages.
Blythewood is rapidly becoming known as a great place to find quality antiques as well as a good bargain. There are three treasure filled stores in town and another one just a short distance away on Main Street. You can take a drive down roads with colorful names such as “Persimmon Fork” or Syrup Mill, and you will see that quiet family living is the rule, not the exception in this Northeast Columbia town.
