Located on Northland Drive in north-central Columbia, this home has quick and easy access to I-70 and newly rebuilt Hwy 763. There are grocery stores, specialty food shops, restaurants, banks, pharmacy, and many other services within a couple miles.
With the campuses of the University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College, all bordering a historic downtown filled with coffee houses, galleries, pubs and restaurants, Columbia can truly be described as "College Town USA." Columbia has been ranked by national publications as one of the best small cities in America. Once described by Money Magazine as "clean and green," the city boasts one of the country's few wetlands wastewater treatment systems.
Columbia's Department of Parks and Recreation has received national acclaim. In 2005, the Federal Highway Administration selected Columbia as one of four communities to receive $25 million grants to implement city-wide pedestrian, bicycle and trail systems. This along with the new Columbia Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and many excellent private fitness centers, adds to Columbia's national reputation as one of America's most fit cities.School District
