Chapin

ABOUT THE AREA

Chapin, SC also known as the capitol of Lake Murray, was founded in 1890 and it's one of the most charming towns in all of Columbia. Chapin has a good mixture of being both a rural town and a lake town. It's location is very convenient as you can get to Downtown Columbia in only 30 minutes and Greenville in about an hour. The area is also very popular because of it's variety of neighborhoods as well as great schools and infrastructure. 

When it comes to housing in Chapin there are two types of people. There are those who move to the town because they want to live on the lake or at least have access to it and the other type wants the small southern town charm where they can get more square footage for a more attractive price. Homes in Chapin can range anywhere from the low $100,000s all the way into the millions. If you're looking for new construction Chapin just might be the place for you since they have the space to accommodate it. 

Eateries in Chapin are mainly locally owned and we have a few favorites such as Higher Ground Char House, Catch 22, and the Coffee Shelf. Since it's located on a lake, many activities in Chapin are water related but there is also the Crooked Creek Park. The park has several walking trails, a disc golf course, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields and it even has indoor facilities such as a gym and conference rooms.
