This is an up and coming neighborhood being redeveloped by the City of Columbia. Like many historic neighborhoods, there are some homes with deferred maintenance among the new construction. But no worries, this neighborhood is completely safe and minutes from anywhere you want to be. We provide an attached parking lot, with overflow parking in the adjacent lot belonging to the neighboring church.

Centrally located, #TheVestryOnRead is only minutes to the University of South Carolina campus, Williams-Brice Stadium, South Carolina State House, and Fort Jackson.
Quiet hours are from 10PM until 8AM every day of the week. We have zero tolerance for noise complaints. Especially for shared units, with a shared wall or floor. Each guest has the right to a peaceful stay. Please be mindful of all neighbors.
