Rosewood
We lived in Rosewood for years and have always loved the friendly people and diversity of the area. Residents also benefit from its many parks (which feature walking trails & running tracks, a newly added biking pump track, childrens' playground, athletic fields/courts, disc golf course, community gardens & orchard, skateboarding park and more), high school sports stadium, historic airline hangar turned brewery, public airport, locally-owned shops and Columbia's only urban farm, City Roots.
There are many community groups to help you get to know your neighbors and plenty of events throughout the year to keep you busy such as:
- Front Porch Roll Call: Community events hosted by different neighbors where the Columbia Police Department starts their night shift and introduces themselves to the public to create community ties. Officers will take any questions and give an update on local happenings. Afterwards, the officers are fed and then neighbors eat and enjoy a beer or lemonade together while getting to know one another.
- There is a private "Rosewood Neighbors" Facebook Group where those who live in the area can interact and announce fun things such as group tubing and floating trips down the river on warm weekends.
- Rosewood Art & Music Festival: free, outdoor festival celebrating southern arts and culture with live music, visual arts & poets on multiple stages. They have vendors offering food and beverages, art, jewelry, gifts and more.
