Prosperity | Newberry, SC

living on the lake

PROSPERITY | NEWBERRY, SC

Located 40 miles northwest of downtown Columbia, South Carolina, Prosperity is a small town just outside of Newberry, SC.

The Prosperity/Newberry area is the start of Lake Murray where the Saluda River opens up and starts to feed into the main body of Lake Murray. Being just past Chapin, this area has been coined the “new Chapin” as people who love living on this side of the lake continue to spread out to the area to find large lots, beautiful secluded homes and less traffic. Newberry, a city in itself, has a bustling economy and its own private college, Newberry College. Homes in this area of the Lake are typically easier on the wallet because of the farther distance away from Columbia, SC. You can get a little more for your money on lots and homes in this area with a lot of the land still undeveloped. There is a good amount of older homes with new construction coming to the area as well.
