Cayce, SC
Cayce sits south of Columbia along the I-26 corridor, positioned between downtown Columbia and Lexington County. The city's proximity to Fort Jackson and the I-26 logistics corridor creates a workforce housing demand base that is consistent and diverse.
Cayce's multifamily market is anchored by its proximity to Fort Jackson — the largest Army training installation in the United States — and the I-26 logistics and distribution corridor. Military families and logistics workers represent a significant portion of the city's renter base, providing occupancy consistency that is less sensitive to the broader economic cycle.
The city's position along the I-26 corridor also gives it access to Columbia's government and healthcare employment base, adding a professional renter component to the predominantly workforce housing market. Cayce's acquisition prices reflect its secondary suburban status, offering yield-oriented investors more attractive entry points than Columbia proper.
