Columbia, Maryland

Columbia, Maryland has a population of just over 97,000 people. What's unusual about Columbia is that it is a completely planned community consisting of ten villages. all of which are considered self-contained. Since the late 1960s when the city was built, there has been some erasing of the finely tuned original planning, but it remains a good outline of the planned city it was meant to be.

While the area was definitely planned, that planning did not include forethought on transportation. When looking for your Columbia apartment, know that it isn't very walkable and that public transportation consists of some bus service to Baltimore.Each ‘village' contains all the necessities when it comes to stores, services and schools, and is consistently rate one of the best places to live in America.

Planned and Planning

As an original and important part of the planned concept, you will find ample recreational facilities. From swimming pools to lakes for fishing and boating to an equestrian center, there's virtually no sport left out. There's Columbia's Festival of the Arts each year, and you can even rent yourself a garden plot to do a little farming.The Merriweather Post Pavilion is a good outdoor concert venue and you can expect some big names there. With both Baltimore and Washington, D.C. not that far away, you'll also have the option of world class museums, concerts and more with just quick drive from your Columbia apartment.

Classy Dining

Many restaurants in Columbia are in the same class with the better restaurants in Baltimore and D.C. Cafe de Paris is one of them. For French bistro food, it gets high rankings by everyone. Other top rated places are The King's Contrivance, Frisco Grille and Cantina, and Sushi Sono for Japanese. You can also find plenty of other international cuisines as well as chain restaurants and fast food ones too.

New Friends and Hangouts

There are no nightclubs per se in Columbia but that doesn't mean there's no nightlife.Many of the bars book live music and make up for the lack of true clubs. Both Clyde's and Sonoma can always be counted on to have something good to listen to. Pub Dog and The Second Chance Saloon are great hangouts and they are both good places to meet your neighbors. Once in your Columbia apartment, it won't take long to fit right in.
