Agape Village
One-story patio homes in West Columbia where the association fee covers nearly everything.
Agape Village is a small 55+ age-qualified community off Leaphart Road in West Columbia, built between roughly 2006 and 2009. Every home that has sold here in recent years has followed the same design: two bedrooms, two full baths, about 1,040 square feet, all on one level.
What sets this community apart is how much the association handles. Listings here consistently describe the fee as covering utilities, cable and internet, trash, and weekly lawn service, which makes monthly costs unusually predictable. If you want to stop thinking about the yard and a stack of separate utility bills, this is one of the few places in the Midlands built around that idea.
Figures reflect the last ten closed sales in Agape Village pulled directly from Consolidated MLS (CMLS) through September 2026. These are historical closed sales, not current inventory. Third-party sites often show higher numbers because they report asking prices.
What are the homes like in Agape Village?
The homes here are remarkably consistent, which makes shopping easier than it sounds. When you compare two homes in Agape Village, you are mostly comparing condition and updates rather than floor plans. Features that show up again and again across listings:
- Open living area with vaulted ceilings
- Gas fireplace
- Primary suite with private bath, walk-in shower and walk-in closet
- Attached exterior storage room off the patio
- Covered front porch, plus a patio or screened patio at the back
- Partial rear fencing on many homes
Accessibility features appear frequently, including no-step entries, wider doorways and walk-in showers. These vary from home to home, so confirm them for any specific property before you count on them.
Worth knowing up front: there are no garages in this community. Parking is by driveway. If garage parking is a must-have, that is the detail that will decide it for you.
What does the association handle?
This is the reason most people choose Agape Village. Listings in this community consistently describe the fee as covering the following.
That last item tells you something useful. An association that handles filters and smoke detector batteries is a hands-on one, and that level of service is uncommon in this price range.
About the fee. Association fees in Agape Village are billed monthly. Fees and their inclusions change over time, and communities bill monthly, quarterly or annually depending on how they are set up. Rather than publish a number here that goes out of date, call or text me at (803) 530-9272 and I will get you the current amount, what it covers today, and a copy of the governing documents so you can read the rules yourself.
What is there to do in the community?
Agape Village has a clubhouse used for community events, with event space, an exercise room, and computer and copier access. Outside, there are walking paths through the community, a gazebo, and a deck with a gas grill. The community is small enough that the paths connect the whole neighborhood. Listings also reference a community-wide video surveillance system.
What the community does not have: no pool, no pickleball or tennis courts, no golf, no gated entry and no garages. If those matter to you, other Midlands communities are a better fit and I am glad to point you toward them.
How close is everything?
Agape Village sits off Leaphart Road with quick access to I-26 and Sunset Boulevard, which puts it between downtown Lexington and downtown Columbia rather than out on the edge of either one. For most everyday errands you are looking at a five to ten minute drive.
Distances and drive times are approximate and vary with traffic and route. Verified September 2026.
How often do homes come up for sale?
Only about three to four homes sell here in a typical year, so inventory is thin by design. Over the past three years, sold prices have ranged from the low $160,000s to just over $207,000, with 2026 sales landing around $194,000. Time on market varies widely, from under two weeks to several months, which usually reflects condition and updates rather than demand for the community itself.
Questions people ask about Agape Village
Is Agape Village really a 55+ community?
Yes. It operates as an age-qualified community and listings note that the occupant must be 55 or older. Occupancy requirements are set in the community governing documents rather than in a listing description, so ask for the current documents before you buy. Delaney can request them for you.
Does everyone in the home have to be 55 or older?
Federal rules for housing for older persons generally require at least 80 percent of occupied homes to have one resident 55 or older, which typically allows for a younger spouse. Individual communities can set stricter rules, so this should be answered from the current governing documents rather than a general rule.
What does the association fee cover at Agape Village?
Listings consistently describe the fee as covering electricity, gas, water and sewer, cable TV, internet, landline telephone, weekly trash pickup, weekly lawn and landscaping service, common area and road maintenance, and twice-yearly HVAC filter and smoke detector battery replacement. Amounts and inclusions change over time, so call or text (803) 530-9272 for the current figure.
Are there garages in Agape Village?
No. Homes have driveway parking, and many include an attached exterior storage room off the patio for tools and seasonal items.
Are all the homes one story?
Yes. Every home sold here in recent years has been a single-level patio home of roughly 1,040 square feet with two bedrooms and two full baths.
Are the homes accessible?
Many listings describe no-step entries, wider doorways and walk-in showers, and some homes have been updated with accessibility in mind. Features vary by home, so confirm for the specific property you are considering.
Can homes in Agape Village be rented out?
Rental restrictions are set in the governing documents and can change over time. At least one recent sale involved a home that had been rented. If renting matters to your plans, confirm the current rule in writing before making an offer.
Are pets allowed in Agape Village?
Pet rules are set in the current governing documents. Ask for them before you buy, and be careful with anything you find online, because there is a separate commercial development in Lexington County with a similar name and entirely different rules.
Is there a pool or fitness center?
There is a clubhouse with an exercise room, but no pool. The community also has walking paths, a gazebo and a deck with a gas grill.
How far is Agape Village from Lexington Medical Center?
