Hulon Greene

Independent Assessment

Whether Hulon Greene is a for-sale, deed-restricted subdivision or a rental/independent-living facility was specifically checked, since it can read either way depending on the source consulted. Independent research confirms Hulon Greene is governed by a homeowner-elected HOA (Hulon Greene Homeowners Association, Inc.), with an active property-listings page on the HOA's own website and ongoing MLS/Zillow/Redfin resale activity -- clear indicators of a for-sale, deed-restricted community rather than a rental facility. One aggregator source states the community's age qualification 'serves as a deed restriction.' The recorded covenant document itself was not independently reviewed, so the exact legal language should still be confirmed with the HOA, but the for-sale, deed-restricted structure is well corroborated across HOA, real-estate, and county-adjacent sources.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers seeking an affordable, established, gated 55+ subdivision with a genuine ownership structure (rather than a rental or entrance-fee facility), close to Lexington Medical Center and West Columbia's amenities, are the best fit for Hulon Greene.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Hulon Greene comprises approximately 114 patio homes and three condo buildings of 12 units each, built mostly between the mid-1980s and late 2000s. Single-family patio homes range from roughly 1,500 to more than 3,500 square feet with two to three bedrooms and an attached two-car garage, while condo units run roughly 832 to 1,210 square feet with one or two bedrooms. No confirmed builder name was found for the community. Homes are governed by the homeowner-elected Hulon Greene Homeowners Association, Inc.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported pricing for Hulon Greene runs roughly $180,000-$375,000, with an average list price around $288,100 among current/recent listings. This positions Hulon Greene as one of the more affordable deed-restricted 55+ communities in the Midlands, reflecting its older housing stock and West Columbia location rather than a resort-style amenity program.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Hulon Greene is fully built out, so all available inventory is resale. Given the housing stock's age (built roughly mid-1980s through the late 2000s), buyers should budget for a full independent inspection, ask about the HOA's reserve funding and any pending special assessments, and confirm condo-specific insurance and maintenance responsibilities separately from patio-home responsibilities.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Hulon Greene are subject to Lexington County property tax, assessed and billed at the county level; buyers should confirm the current rate and a specific home's assessed value directly with the Lexington County Assessor.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Hulon Greene's mix of patio homes and low-rise condo buildings, set behind Lexington Medical Center on wooded, tree-lined streets, gives it a quieter, more modest lifestyle than larger resort-style active-adult communities -- its social hub is the clubhouse's ballroom, library, and Wicker Room rather than an extensive amenity campus. The gated entry and dog park suggest a settled, walkable neighborhood character geared toward established residents rather than a heavily programmed events calendar.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Hulon Greene sits in West Columbia, Lexington County, directly behind Lexington Medical Center -- a meaningful convenience for residents prioritizing proximity to hospital and medical-office access. West Columbia sits just across the Congaree River from downtown Columbia, giving residents a short drive to the capital's broader shopping, dining, and cultural amenities.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Hulon Greene is independently described by multiple sources as an age-restricted 55-and-older community, with at least one source stating the age qualification 'serves as a deed restriction' for the community. The recorded covenant document itself was not directly reviewed; buyers who need the exact legal language and any HOPA occupancy-verification procedure should request the governing documents directly from the Hulon Greene Homeowners Association.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Hulon Greene is fully built out with an older housing stock (built roughly mid-1980s through the late 2000s), so resale buyers should budget for a full inspection and expect some homes to need updating. No publicly confirmed builder name or comprehensive current HOA fee schedule across all home types was found -- one reported condo HOA fee (around $274/month) should not be assumed to apply to patio homes or other unit types. No golf course or large clubhouse amenity program was identified; the community's amenities center on a modest clubhouse, pool, and dog park rather than a resort-style program.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Columbia/Lexington Midlands market, Hulon Greene is a more affordable, older, and more modestly amenitized option than newer 55+ communities such as Cross Creek Villas in Lexington, but it offers a genuine for-sale ownership structure that distinguishes it from area rental and independent-living senior housing (including some other Columbia-area communities sometimes confused with it). Buyers who specifically want a maintenance-light home near Lexington Medical Center at a lower price point may prefer Hulon Greene; buyers wanting newer construction or a larger amenity program should look elsewhere in the Midlands.
