Buying Investment Property in Blythewood, SC
Rentals, land, and multi-family, numbers first. We look at the rent, the costs, and the area before we look at the house.
Investment property in Blythewood: new homes and land
Investment property in Blythewood falls into two kinds: newer homes in subdivisions, and land. With more than half of 29016's sales last year being new construction, a rental bought here may have low early repair costs, at a median sold price of $350,000 over the twelve months ending October 9, 2026, according to Consolidated MLS.
Scout Motors' plant is drawing attention to the area. It is a real regional development, but we will not promise what it does to rents or values, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
How we work with investors
Taylored Realty Team's Terry and Yolanda Taylor have owned investment property and have helped clients buy land. We check HOA covenants first, since some newer subdivisions limit or set rules for rentals, then look at rent, costs, and condition before an offer. For 1031 exchanges, we work alongside your CPA or qualified intermediary.
What to check
- HOA rental rules in the subdivision.
- For land: access, utilities, and what can be built.
- Property taxes on a home that is not your primary residence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Scout Motors raise Blythewood home values?
No one can promise that. It is a major regional development, but we price and advise from actual sales, not projections.
Can I rent out a new home in Blythewood?
It depends on the HOA. Some newer subdivisions limit or set rules for rentals, so we check the covenants before you make an offer.

What investment property looks like in Blythewood
North of Columbia along I-77, with newer construction, larger lots, and an easy run to Fort Jackson.
Blythewood sits north of Columbia along I-77, with a small-town center around Doko Meadows Park and a ring of newer subdivisions, golf communities, and larger rural lots. More than half of the homes sold in 29016 last year were built in 2024 or later.
- The homes
- Mostly newer construction: traditional and craftsman-influenced two-story homes, brick homes, some townhomes, golf-community homes in Cobblestone Park, and acreage properties on the edges of town.
- Why people choose it
- People choose Blythewood for newer homes, larger floor plans and garages, neighborhood amenities, and more space than closer-in Columbia neighborhoods.
- Schools people ask about
- School assignment in 29016 is set by address, and district lines do not follow the ZIP code, so we confirm the assigned schools for any home you are serious about.
- Getting around
- I-77 is the main route south to Columbia and toward Fort Jackson. US-21 and Killian Road connect Blythewood to Northeast Columbia.
- Nearby
- Doko Meadows Park, with a walking trail, pond, playground, and event space, a seasonal farmers market, and Northeast Columbia shopping a short drive south.
- The trade-off
- Resale homes often compete with builders' new inventory, and homes took longer to sell here last year than in Columbia or Lexington. Commutes depend on how far from I-77 you live.
