5516 Lakeshore

A one-story brick condominium complex built in 1968, this low-rise community clusters modest multi-unit buildings around landscaped common courtyards and walkways. Units are primarily two-bedroom floorplans with a mix of one- and two-bath layouts; many homes retain period details such as hardwood or parquet flooring, built-in shelving, and modest trim work while offering incremental modern updates like granite counters, replaced HVAC systems, or new flooring. Interiors are simple and practical: ceiling fans, smoke detectors, and small built-in bookcases are common, and several units include covered back porches or private balconies with utility closets for stackable laundry. Shared amenities focus on low-maintenance, everyday living — an on-site clubhouse and laundry room, a swimming pool, picnic and grilling areas, pet-friendly outdoor spaces, and reserved parking with additional visitor spots. The HOA typically covers water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and pest control, reducing owner upkeep. Located in the Forest Acres/Lakeshore area of Columbia, SC, buildings sit close to Forest Drive retail, Trenholm Plaza, Fort Jackson and I-77, offering quick access to downtown Columbia and USC while providing a quieter, suburban-styled condominium environment.
