Chapin Area Information - Chapin Market Study

Please be sure to read Ron Anderson's bog about the Chapin and Ballentine market area.... 



Chapin Market Study
(please click the title to go directly to his blog)


"Overview
The Chapin-Ballentine market area is located in the northwestern portion of the Columbia metropolitan area. It includes portions of both Richland and Lexington counties north of Lake Murray and south of the Broad River. The market is arranged along three major transportation routes (I-26, US 76, and US 176). The market includes the Towns of Chapin and Irmo, the unincorporated communities of White Rock and Ballentine, and most of the northern lakefront on Lake Murray. Three factors have contributed to the growth of this burgeoning suburb: 1) proximity to employment in Columbia, 2) one of the state's best school districts - Lexington Richland 5, and 3) access to Lake Murray." .....
