Columbia Home for Rent

Columbia, a neighborhood southeast of St. Louis, stands out for its strong local business community, with few chain establishments and a focus on locally run eateries and shops. Downtown Columbia showcases its German heritage through brick and stone buildings and local businesses like Reifschneider’s Grill & Grape and Proving Ground Coffee. Dining options are diverse, with Joe Boccardi’s, Thai House, and Tequila Mexican Restaurant all within 1.5 miles. The housing market features a mix of vintage homes from the 1800s and early 1900s near downtown, transitioning to ‘90s neo-colonial styles and new constructions further out. Columbia Community Unit School District is highly rated, with Parkview Elementary School, Columbia Middle School, and Columbia High School all receiving high marks. Bolm-Schuhkraft Park, the largest park in the area, offers extensive sports amenities and hosts the annual Songs4Soldiers event, which supports combat veterans. Columbia is safer than the national average, adding to its appeal for homebuyers. Additionally, the neighborhood's proximity to downtown St. Louis, just 15 miles away, provides access to big-city amenities while maintaining a small-town atmosphere.
