Columbia City Home for Rent

Columbia City offers a blend of old-fashioned Midwest charm and contemporary living. The main thoroughfare, West Van Buren Street, exemplifies this mix with the historic Whitley County Courthouse on one side and modern shops and restaurants on the other, including a colorful mural. Located 21 miles west of Fort Wayne, Columbia City provides a slower pace while still featuring great dining and parks. The downtown area is a hub for shopping and dining, with spots like The Square and Brew’ha Coffee Shop, and vintage finds at The Mercantile and The Shops @ Sanctuary. Essentials can be picked up at big box retailers along US Route 30. Homes near downtown, built between 1900 and 1950, include Craftsman, ranch, and Queen Anne styles, many of which have been renovated. Further north, homes built between 1970 and 1990 feature ranch, split-level, and Cape Cod styles, often with larger lots and two-car garages. Morsches Park is a favorite for outdoor activities, offering baseball fields, a splash pad, and the Blue River Trail. The Russel and Evelyn Fahl Aquatics Center is popular in the summer, while the Whitley County Family YMCA is a year-round destination. Columbia City is conveniently located 20 miles east of Warsaw and 26 miles from Fort Wayne International Airport, making it suitable for commuters.
