The CDP is in central Richland County and is bordered to the north, west, and south by the city of Columbia. It is bordered to the east by Mill Creek and Sun View Lake, a reservoir on the creek, which is a south-flowing tributary of the Congaree River. The CDP consists of the neighborhoods of Village Bond, Capitol View, and Hazelwood Acres in the northwest; Charlestown in the northeast; and Eastmont in the south. The northwest and northeast arms of the CDP are separated by the neighborhoods of Galaxy and Strathaven Forest, both within the Columbia city limits.[5]

South Carolina Highway 262 (Leesburg Road) runs through the northern side of the CDP, leading west 1 mile (1.6 km) to Interstate 77 at Exit 9 and east 13 miles (21 km) along the southern edge of Fort Jackson to U.S. Route 601.
