Homes in Columbia Maryland
have the special identity of the Columbia Village in which they
were built over the past 41 years. The community planners considered
the needs of families and developed the town on the "village"
concept. Each village has it’s own unique personality and primary
architectural style. With acres of nature preserved in each
village, the homes in Columbia
have quiet and peaceful surrounds with wildlife protected and
encouraged. This unique contemporary collection of Villages
will welcome you home in Columbia.
Columbia’s vast open spaces are a great source of pride and
enjoyment to the Columbia community. The Columbia Association
currently maintains over 3100 acres of open space, including
156 tot lots, 235 pedestrian bridges, the 40-acre Symphony Woods,
15 overpasses and underpasses, 3 lakes, 20 ponds, and natural
open space areas, interlaced with more than 83 miles of pathways
for walking, biking and jogging. Columbia
Maryland homes are the pride of Howard
County real estate.

Columbia, which was founded in 1965, is the
implementation of the idea of its founder, James W. Rouse. It is
perhaps the most successful large-scale planned community, which was
intended to avoid the sprawl and inconveniences associated with many
suburban communities. It is the largest city in Howard County and has
many recreational areas, a varied array of shopping facilities, and
quality residential housing priced from $150,000 to over $1,000,000.
