Welcome to Five Points!
Columbia's Village Neighborhood
Friends, family, and neighbors – we couldn't be more proud that Five Points has been Columbia's original village neighborhood for over 100 years. You all have been with us throughout the years as we've shared exciting new projects, welcomed new businesses, and enjoyed new events, and we’d now like for you to join us as we continue our next 100 years.
To share our love for this neighborhood, the Five Points Association has created a short video to honor and celebrate Five Points’ history and unique charm. We hope you enjoy it!
In case you missed it, the Five Points Association, Drip Coffee, Pecknel Music Co., and One Columbia just finished the newest piece of public art in Five Points -- the Postcard Mural. Located on the wall of Pecknel Music, the mural overlooks the original fountain plaza and the new public parking lot, and was a part of an effort to do justice to this prominent area, in the heart of our Five Points. Check out this awesome time lapse video of the project's completion!
