When you stroll around Rosewood, you’re sampling some of the best that Cola has to offer. This eclectic + vibrant neighborhood has a little bit of everything — from young families and college students to artists and retirees.

The neighborhood has grown since its early days, so we wanted to check out what’s currently brewing here. If you haven’t explored it in a while, it might be time to rediscover why so many people — maybe even you — love to call it home.

Need to know

You’re not the only one with your eyes set on Rosewood. Since the year 2000, the area’s population has grown by 13.2%. Rosewood is known for its numerous parks, its award-winning elementary school (which is walkable within the neighborhood), its rich history, an urban farm, and more.

Can’t miss

A trip to Rosewood isn’t complete without attending one of City Root’s events. Engage in educational opportunities to see how the farm grows its microgreens. Many grocers around Cola use what City Roots grows.

City Roots also has plans for a 93-acre expansion in a Richland County Industrial Park. It plans to only develop 10 of those acres and preserve the rest as protected wetlands.
