Melrose Heights, located between Five Points and the University of South Carolina campus, is a historic and residential Columbia neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Harden Street near Devine Street, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Brick bungalows and Tudor Revival cottages sit beside tidy mid-century infill, giving blocks a layered, lived-in look. The nearby Columbia Museum of Art and Koger Center for the Arts add a cultural throughline beyond the porch-and-garden rhythm. Maxcy Gregg Park and the Riverwalk corridor frame daily routines with green space and long walking loops.
