The Greater Richburg area is located in the Olde English District of South Carolina and is rich with history.

The early settlers in the area were mainly Scots-Irish from Virginia and Pennsylvania who began immigrating to the Upcountry of South Carolina in the 1750s.

Located within an hour of the metropolitan areas of Columbia, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina, at the interchange of Exit 65 and SC Highway 9, the Greater Richburg community is also centrally located within three hours of the beaches of South Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina. The Charlotte-Douglas International Airport is less than an hour away.

The Richburg area enjoys four beautiful, diverse seasons - vibrant springs; bright, warm summers; colorful falls; and an occasional accumulation of snow once or twice during the winter.

We enjoy an exceptionally low crime rate, and Chester County provides well-equipped and staffed police and EMS while the local fire departments are mostly manned by volunteers.

In the Greater Richburg community, you will find high quality, moderately priced housing and friendly well-maintained neighborhoods in Victorian Hills, Cherry Hills, and others.
