Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Tucked in a quiet corner of West Columbia, The Emerald Den offers a retreat that’s calm, connected, and just out of reach from the city buzz. You’re not downtown—but that’s the point. You’re 30 minutes from Fort Jackson, making this spot ideal for families attending graduations or service members passing through. Need city access? Downtown Columbia is still an easy drive—close enough to tap into the nightlife, galleries, and rooftop views of The Vista, but far enough to hear yourself think. Locals start the day at Indah Coffee, wind down at Savage Craft Ale Works, and get their Southern fix at The War Mouth—all worth the short drive. For wildlife and wonder, Riverbanks Zoo & Garden is just minutes away. Street parking is a breeze. The neighbors? Chill. And the vibe? Still elevated.

Guest Access

You will have exclusive and private access to the entire apartment. Your access includes: 🚪 A private entrance, located at the green door on the right side of the building. 🚗 Free, guaranteed on-site parking in front of the building or in front of the door on the red brick chips. 🧺 Full use of the in-unit washer and dryer, ideal for longer stays.
