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.
