About this Neighborhood

Core-Columbia tops this set's amenity counts by a wide margin: 103 restaurants, 20 coffee shops, 13 grocery stores, six parks, and a fitness spot, all within walking distance. This is a true downtown core where you can live entirely on foot, with an overwhelming range of dining and daily essentials in reach.
