Why Live in Columbus

Columbus, NE, is a small city situated at the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers, known for its industrial base and hardworking blue-collar community. With a population of around 17,000, the city is home to mid-sized manufacturers, including BD Pharmaceutical Systems, which employs over 2,000 workers. Residential areas feature single-family homes on tree-lined streets with typical lot sizes around a tenth-acre. Despite a tight housing market, home prices remain relatively low, with a median price of $270,000. Columbus offers various recreational activities, including numerous small parks, the Quail Run public golf course, and the Wilderness Park Soccer Complex.
