What Renters Like and Dislike
What Renters Like and Dislike About Columbia
I like that there are a lot of shopping and dining options. I like to explore the bars and food nearby
Close to stores, restaurants, malls, and other services. Close to schools. Diversity in the area. Neighbors are nice and keep up their yards.
I like the people and the dogs and the trees. My favorite thing is that I am not far from shopping or the interstate
Quiet. Good stores nearby. It's a Nice and quiet area. Everything is close but not walking distance.
Unique housing, not a cookie cutter development. I like that housing and people are unique and diverse.
It has great and easy access to public transportation with most places you need being right down the street. It's about a 20min drive from fun activities.
