The Village of Nightingale Neighborhood
Quiet streets, mature trees, and Main Street just minutes away.
Close to everything, away from it all.
Village of Nightingale sits in the heart of Lexington, South Carolina — a growing town just west of Columbia that has managed to keep its small-town character while adding the restaurants, shops, and amenities people actually want. You are minutes from Main Street on foot or by car, but tucked away on quiet cul-de-sac streets where the loudest thing you hear is birdsong.
The commute to downtown Columbia is about 20–30 minutes via US-1, roughly 15 miles. Major employers in the region include the State of South Carolina, Prisma Health, BlueCross BlueShield of SC, the University of South Carolina, and Fort Jackson.
