Columbia Heights is a spirited suburb with a well-known dining scene
Columbia Heights attracts buyers seeking an established suburb within a few miles of big-city life. The area has a vibrant dining scene with many American and international options, and events like the Columbia Heights Jamboree help everyone feel like part of the community. The area's ramblers and bungalows have prices on par with or below those in neighboring cities, and its short commutes to Minneapolis and Saint Paul attract people who work downtown.

What buyers can pay for ramblers, bungalows and townhomes
Columbia Heights has a blend of ramblers, bungalows and split-level homes from the early to mid-1900s. Houses often sell between the upper $100,000s and the lower $500,000s. Townhomes and duplexes usually run from the lower $100,000s to the upper $400,000s. The area's prices tend to be on par with Fridley to the north but are much less expensive than places like Saint Anthony. “It is a more affordable inner ring suburb," says Joe Kasel, a Realtor with RE/MAX Results.
There are several bungalows throughout the city.
Ramblers are found throughout the area.

The Columbia Heights Jamboree brings everyone together
People gather throughout the year for events like the Columbia Heights Jamboree, a multiday June festival headlined by a parade, a carnival and a fireworks show. The Polish Picnic, held in August, brings traditional Polish food, polka music and lots of dancing. There are also smaller, more frequent events, like the Music in the Park concert series.
Residents have easy commutes to Minneapolis and Saint Paul

Interstate 694 runs north of town and can take drivers toward Saint Paul. That drive is about 15 miles, or 20-35 minutes.

Just outside the city, in Saint Anthony, Silverwood Park combines outdoor recreation with art education, placing sculptures and works of poetry along its hiking and biking trails. Park visitors can go boating and fishing on Silver Lake, and furry friends are welcome on the dog trail that encircles the space.
