"We seldom have community events. It would be neat if we did. However at this time we are getting too old to maintain our house."

"Close to 1-70. New schools near by. Grocery store is walking distance with some fast food chains walking distance as well along with some mixed use commercial buildings. "

"Old style church near by. Great school next door and it’s a college environment with lots of places to visit"

"This neighborhood is in a perfect location. You are not more than five minutes from any essentials. Located on the south side and I work on the north side. Being right off Providence, I can hop right on there and take it straight to work."

"Benefits, walks, organizations raising money for good causes, little libraries/food pantries, etc. People smile when you make eye contact"

"Columbia is a small city, more of a large town. It is home to 3 universities and 4 major hospitals. These resources bring an influx of college students, young professionals, highly educated middle aged families with kids, and diverse people from around the world. There are many well paying jobs for every level of education and experience and housing is affordable when compared with cities of this size. There are many opportunities for volunteers and community involvement. "

"Everyone I come in contact with always waves and usually makes eye contact. While I don’t know all of their names, I do know all of their dog”s names. The landscaping is always kept up and all of us who live by the lake all seem to be “outdoor people”. During the summer., it’s common to see the streets almost crowded with walkers and joggers—even a few bikers. (Along with all the dogs, of course)"
