Welcome to Lexington, South Carolina.

A charming suburb of Columbia, Lexington is one of South Carolina’s best-kept secrets—close enough to enjoy everything the capital city has to offer, and far enough to avoid the crowds. Located just outside the heart of downtown Columbia, you’ll find plenty to explore, but it’s the culinary scene that will have you coming back for more.

Lexington is teeming with brewpubs, taprooms, and craft breweries, tempting you to sample their frothy fare. And for foodies, The Village at Southlake is a short drive from classic steakhouses, Italian trattorias, eclectic Asian and Mexican restaurants, and stick-to-your-ribs South Carolina BBQ. And of course, everything is served with a side of Southern charm.

You’ll be surrounded by postcard-perfect parks, serene lakes, museums, entertainment, and sporting events like Lexington County Blowfish baseball—named after Columbia’s famous rock band “Hootie & the Blowfish,” or South Carolina University’s Gamecocks football at Williams Brice Stadium.

Lexington is a picture-perfect senior living location.
