The CDP is in western Richland County, bordered to the north by the city of Columbia, the state capital, and to the west, across the Congaree River, by the city of Cayce. The eastern half of the CDP is residential, while the western half is occupied by the Columbia Quarry of Vulcan Materials.[3]

Four locations in the CDP are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Olympia Armory is on Granby Lane in the northeast part of the CDP, the Olympia Mill School is on Olympia Avenue in the northern part of the CDP, and the Olympia Union Hall is on Silver Street in the northernmost part of the CDP, close to the Columbia city line. Much of the northeast part of the CDP is within the Olympia Mill Village Historic District.

The Olympia Mill is within the Columbia city limits, just north of the CDP.
