I love the historic feel of uptown, the restaurants on Broadway, whitewater rafting down the Chattahoochee River, Ziplining at Zip-the-Hooch and just strolling on the river walk. Columbus is rich with history and has a little bit of the old mix with the new. It boasts one of the largest military bases at Ft. Benning and one of the best Opera houses in the region. Columbus is definitely the place to live!
Columbus, Georgia is a great city to live in! I've lived in Columbus since birth. I went to elementary, middle, high school, and two years of college at Columbus State University. It's many different activities to participate in around town to become active with the community. My favorite spot is the Riverwalk. On a peaceful evening, is the perfect time for a walk, jog or bike ride with love ones or friends.
Columbus is a small city compared to Atlanta, but has some really nice attractions. We have nice river walk located in Downtown Columbus where you can dine out or even go white water rafting. We also have nice restaurants unique to our city own such as Country’s BBQ which is really tasty! Overall, Columbus is a great place to live if you are looking for a not too big city with some favorable attractions.
