A move-in-ready home is a new construction home that is ready for occupancy. Most move-in-ready homes are constructed with options and upgrades that the homebuilder's design team chooses. Homebuilders start and finish construction on these homes without homebuyer feedback, leading to efficiencies in some areas and cost savings. These homes are also called quick move-in homes and spec homes. 

Every LGI Homes residence is a move-in-ready home. Our homes include unparalleled value and superior quality. They are energy efficient and include designer upgrades at no extra cost to homebuyers. 

Post-reconstruction, Columbia became a textile manufacturing center. Columbia remains a manufacturing-focused city, but it has diversified over the years. Today, the economy of Columbia offers advanced manufacturing, transportation and logistics, insurance, biosciences, healthcare, research and development, hospitality, and retail. 

Absolutely! You'll find new homes offered by LGI Homes throughout South Carolina, including the Columbia, Fort Mill and the Greenville-Spartanburg areas. 

As with any major city, Columbia has something for everyone!

If you lived in Columbia for a year, you could see a new live performance or art show every day. The city boasts a broad array of public art, including murals, maker's spaces, outdoor sculptures and even laser displays. Venues, where art is exciting and accessible, are plentiful.

You can always take the family to a Columbia Fireflies game for good old-fashioned ballpark fun. Or, spend the day at the Zoo seeing the animals and zip-lining through the trees. You could also take a tour with Historic Columbia to learn about the history and culture of the state's capital city.

Few locations better highlight Columbia's live music culture than downtown, where a few steps put you within striking distance of acoustically-blessed, cutting-edge venues that have hosted world-renowned acts.

There are plenty of parks and outdoor adventure possibilities in and surrounding Columbia too. It doesn't take long to get from the center of town to what seems to be the middle of nowhere. The area has countless trails, gardens and bodies of water close by. In a matter of minutes, you can escape the bustling city and lose yourself in the fresh air, cold waterways and old growth hardwood forest.
