About the property

Pond-View 3BR/2.5BA Home with Attached 2-Car Garage

What sets this Village Pond residence apart is the backyard outlook: a private view across the community pond that creates a daily sense of calm. Located at 203 Village Walk, this two-story, 1,295-square-foot home (built 2004) offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and an attached two-car garage—ideal for buyers who want a low-maintenance footprint without sacrificing comfort.

Step inside to a practical, well-kept interior finished with carpet and durable vinyl flooring. The main level places living and dining spaces within easy reach of the kitchen, which includes full appliances—refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal and washer/dryer—so move-in costs are minimized. Mechanical systems include central AC and a heat pump; the roof is asphalt shingle. Small, smart details throughout signal a house maintained for daily living rather than speculative fixes.

The primary bedroom suite and two additional bedrooms are arranged for family living or for a home office setup, and the half bath on the main floor adds convenience for guests. Outside, the modest 3,485-square-foot lot keeps lawn chores manageable while the pond at the rear provides a scenic backdrop and an appealing buffer from neighboring houses—a sought-after feature in this submarket.

Location is a practical highlight: the home sits 0.8 miles from I‑77 for fast commutes, with the VA Hospital (1.2 miles) and USC Medical School (1.5 miles) nearby—factors that support rental demand and resale stability. Shopping and services at the Shoppes at Woodhill are about 2.5 miles away. With an assessed value significantly lower than the listing, and recent comparable sales in Village Pond showing steady activity, this property represents a competitively priced, turnkey entry for buyers seeking both convenience and a quiet outdoor setting.

Vacant and offered at $245,000, the house is positioned for quick occupancy or immediate rental. Annual property taxes are listed at $3,929 (2025). Buyers should verify lot boundaries, confirm recent maintenance, and review HOA details, but for those wanting a practical, well-located home with a relaxing pond view in Columbia, 203 Village Walk is a compelling choice.

Editorial market perspective

Village Pond sits in a market that currently favors sellers but remains balanced. Inventory in the corridor is tight at roughly 2.5 months—below the neutral 4–6 month range—while average days on market hover near 45 days. Median sale price for the area is about $210,000, and the neighborhood has seen roughly 4% appreciation in the past year and about 15% over five years. Comparable sales in Village Pond demonstrate active demand for three-bedroom homes, with recent closings from about $170k to $195k and adjustments for pond-facing lots pushing values toward the $230k–$260k range. Properties with water views and proximity to medical and military employers (VA Hospital, USC Medical School, Fort Jackson) tend to sell more quickly and attract both owner-occupant buyers and investors looking for stable rental demand. Given low inventory, buyers should be prepared for competitive offers, while sellers can expect reasonable sale velocity—especially when units are turn-key and vacant. Investors will note steady rental comps and a projected gross rent near $1,700/month for similar 3-bedroom units; owner-occupants benefit from the home's commuter access and school ratings that support long-term marketability.
