Columbia's Independent Living Leader for Seniors


Discover the benefits of all-inclusive independent retirement living. Call today to schedule a personal tour and be our guest for lunch. You'll see why we are the leader in senior living options!

Lakeview Retirement Community


Quietly sitting shore side, overlooking the soothing waters of Lake Murray, waits a rare all-inclusive living experience when you walk through the doors at Lakeview Retirement Community.  Our independent retirement community is nestled among the beautiful neighborhoods of Irmo, between the popular town of Lexington, and just moments away from the heart of Palmetto State's capital city of Columbia. Historical sites, top-notch dining, and a 650-mile shoreline make this area the jewel of South Carolina.  Lakeview Retirement Community is a perfect combination of simplicity and convenience, and beckons a sense of balance, connection, and relaxation. Our professional staff works hard to make certain our residents live stress-free, especially as you take a stroll down a peaceful Carolina wood-covered path and soak in the lakeside serenity. 

Our all-inclusive, 55 plus senior living community is home to those who relish living a luxurious lifestyle, complete with 24/7 service, resort-style dining, and lavish accommodations.

The effort of all the staff to make each resident feel known, and valued, cannot be understated. Lakeview feels like a home, and the people in it are a family.

Lakeview Retirement Community is a brand new facility built last year, and it's right beside the big dam. The facility is gorgeous. They have massage classes and hairdressers. We ate there.

The variety of activities, and the fun the staff bring to them, encourages much participation, which is so important. Knowing my mom is well looked after, with her independence, is such a relief to us. The only thing that I hope changes for her is that she will try some excursions off-site.

We ordered our food and they brought them to our table. Carmen was the girl that showed us around. She was just precious and really sweet. They had 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. They are beautiful and gorgeously laid out. You have to bring your own furniture, but the paint and all the decorations are gorgeous. You have a full kitchen in all of them. They have a stove, a refrigerator, an icemaker, and a microwave.

I absolutely LOVE it here! I have a lovely 2 bedroom, bath apartment with a full kitchen. I have a nice living room with a garage available. The community has a full theater and activity rooms, but the only utility cost except for cell phones. Everyone here is friendly and happy. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would absolutely recommend Lakeview Retirement Community to other families.

Lakeview is a wonderful place to live! It is beautiful, professionally managed, has abundant amenities, and there is always something to do. Not only is the staff friendly, but the residents are too! We felt welcome from the very beginning. All that being said, it is pricey. But if you want high quality all around and can afford it, Lakeview is great! I would definitely recommend Lakeview Retirement Community to other families.

You can't go wrong with sitting in front of a lake. What sets this community apart is that you have A*b and Li**y managing the community. Every resident, family member, staff member will be in excellent hands . These are some of the most caring and professional individuals anyone will ever meet.

Lakeview Retirement Community was awesome. It was luxurious. It was like living at a resort. The rooms I looked at were fantastic. They were a good size and had a great view. The people were just so welcoming and happy to have me. The people who live there are very classy and friendly. They were in my league. The price was quite high. They have independent living. If you need assistance with living, they don't have it. They have no memory care, so that is a drawback. The rooms were nice and very well designed. The common areas were fabulous, from the library to the sitting areas and movie theater. I had brunch with them, and it was very good. The entire surroundings, the service, and the set-up were five stars. I loved it.

Lakeview Retirement Community was a great place. It had everything you would need. The staff was very helpful and very pleasant. I liked the way they made their food. They have a chef in there. They have a 150-seat movie theater, a gym, nice rooms, and outside trips. You can eat 24 hours a day if you want to. They have room service or you can go to the cafeteria. They have parking garages and regular parking spaces. Overall, we had a good tour.

Gorgeous community with very happy residents. The movie theater is a must-see. The activities are well attended and creative. The greetings at the front are exceptional! The apartments are spacious and the food is awesome!!! I highly recommend it and I know some lifelong friends who live there. Not to mention there is a special view of Lake Murray. It’s the only retirement community that has this view in the greater Columbia Metropolitan area.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to welcome Lakeview Retirement Community to the senior living scene in Columbia/Irmo. The location and resident amenities are top-notch - and the views of Lake Murray are spectacular.

It means everything for one monthly rent with no buy-in fee or long-term lease. It means spending time doing the things you love, instead of doing chores like cooking, cleaning, or maintaining a home.
