Southern feel, while making it clear
that this community has its eyes on the
future. Access to an area like this usually
comes with a steep price tag, but here,
affordable housing makes buying your
dream home a reality.
The Greater Columbus Region boasts
housing options from historic homes to
peaceful and walkable family neighborhoods
to lakefront gated communities. Best of
all, the median house value in Columbus
and Muscogee County is almost 25 percent
less than the U.S. average. In our neck of
the woods, you can satisfy your taste while
staying within your budget.
For new residents who are not ready to
purchase a home, renting is a viable option.
Among the numerous apartments and
homes for rent in the area, the median gross
rent is only $844 per month, which makes
renting a great way to water your roots
before you plant them.
With the average cost of living and
commute time below the national level,
Columbus is positioned to support an
amazing quality of life. Both historic and
progressive, this unique region is a treasure.
Take a walk down Broadway or search
