Types of Homes
Governors Grant is single-family homes. Most have three to five bedrooms, and a smaller number have six or more. The most common plan is story-and-a-half, followed by two-story, with some one-story homes, and the large majority have brick exteriors.
Because the neighborhood was built over many years, condition and updates matter. You will find homes in original condition, fully renovated homes, and a smaller number of newer homes, and some have private pools. Lots are generally about half an acre or more, so ask us how a specific home sits on its lot and what it backs to.
Neighborhood Amenities
The Governors Grant Property Owners Association maintains a recently remodeled clubhouse that owners can reserve, a junior Olympic–size pool with a children's pool and a cabana, tennis courts that also work for pickleball, and a playground. Residents use key fobs for the pool and courts.
The neighborhood's Piranhas swim team was started in 1997 and swims in the Columbia Swim League. The association is professionally managed. We can't publish hours, rules, or current dues here, because they change. Ask us for the latest association documents before you write an offer.
