A northern suburb, the small and neighborly city of Columbia Heights provides residents with all the benefits of living in a well-established first-ring suburb with the urbane Minneapolis next door.
The three square mile area has been developed primarily into residential areas that still have a considerable amount of commerce and industry.Continuing its move forward through development and re-development ventures, the city has successfully replaced 18 run-down apartment buildings and multiple dwellings with a similar number of newly built single-family homes.
Most of the residences built in the 2041 acre community were built after World War II and approximately one third of the housing available is either apartments or town homes.
