Columbia has long been recognized as a great place to live the good life. Case in point: Money Magazine named Columbia the #1 place to live in 2016, not just in Maryland, but in the entire country. Our apartment homes are planned to get the royal treatment with a full-scale renovation including newly redesigned kitchens, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, new lighting and fixtures and vinyl wood flooring in select homes.
