A SENSE OF PLACE

The neighbourhood, in perspective.

Getting around

Columbia presents home buyers with several alternative means of transportation. The good public transit system allows people to get to many destinations without needing a car. More specifically, homeowners can count on many rapid transit stations on the ION Light Rail. There are around 10 bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. House buyers who appreciate being in a walkable community will also be pleased with the pedestrian-friendly nature of Columbia; meeting daily needs is convenient without a car, and a fair number of businesses of different types can be found as well. Biking is convenient in this neighbourhood as the bicycling network is moderately extensive.

Everyday essentials

Families will appreciate that wherever their property is situated in this area, daycares and schools are close by. Regarding food, it is usually an option for home buyers in this area to shop for their groceries by foot. In addition, there are a fair number of opportunities for those who appreciate nearby restaurants and cafes. It is also easy to access a selection of clothing stores as a pedestrian.

Local character

No matter what type of character home buyers prefer in a neighbourhood, Columbia is a good option. Although this part of the city is not known for its lively ambience, the vibe is still quite energetic around its busier streets, and places to go out at night are well-spread throughout the area. Most areas in Columbia are reasonably quiet, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic, although that is not the case closer to the railway line. Accessing parks from most locations within the neighbourhood, such as Waterloo Park and Hillside Reserve, is easy since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to explore.

Surrounding homes

In Columbia, roughly 60% of dwellings are large apartment buildings, and the rest of the properties are mainly small apartment buildings. Most of the housing growth in this neighbourhood has taken place after the year 2000. This neighbourhood offers mainly one bedroom and two bedroom homes. Renters occupy roughly 85% of the units in the neighbourhood and owners occupy the remainder.
