Blythewood, South Carolina is a New Homes for Sale in Plantation area of Columbia about 10 miles north on Interstate 77 toward Charlotte. It has earned the reputation of class, community, and rapid growth. Yet, community members still remain hesitant to new subdivisions and non traditional growth. Even with this resistance, new Blythewood neighborhoods have wedged their "foot in the door" and are meeting the demand for Columbia residents relocating from outside the city. Newcomers are discovering Blythewood as a low key, country-like atmosphere. Some of the "new" neighborhoods were previously approved by local developers and have been taken over by national homebuilders. Though some long term residents may not like the change, but it has become necessary and the incoming developers have produced a great product.

Historically, Blythewood neighborhoods have been comprised of large lots and custom homes. For example: in Lake Ashley, Longcreek Plantation, and Surreywood, the lot size of 2 acres is very common. But with a change in the market, new neighborhoods in Blythewood have smaller lot sizes and homes have converted from custom homes to tract-built homes. The end result of building an identical floor plan over and over again brings a perfected and low-cost product. This process has spawned an influx of potential buyers from all over Columbia...and the world. Fort Jackson, the University of South Carolina, and The State House, which acts as a home base for SC politicians, heavily support Columbia's economy.
