A Friendly Place and Smiling Faces 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Cayce, South Carolina is a great place to live. I have lived here for 2 years and enjoy this area. I had to relocate for my job and I chose Cayce because of the easiness in which I can commute to Columbia for work.

Living in Cayce, South Carolina gives you access to many diffe ...Read More rent opportunities. This area lies around the Congaree River and it has played into how the area has developed. The best areas in Cayce, South Carolina are those along the river. Cayce is home to the Riverwalk which runs along the Congaree River. This is a great place for a leisurely walk or a quick jog.

The streets and homes in the community are well kept and the area has a low crime rate. People are friendly and truly show that southern welcoming attitude. Everyone helps everyone. To cap it off, this area does have the stores and restaurants that you need to get the basics and if you need more, than you can easily commute into a larger neighboring town to get what you need.
