There's much to love about the riverside town of Columbia: gorgeous Victorian homes, complete with turrets and gingerbread; an old-world, Colonial ambience that includes historic clocks and stone walls; tree-lined sidewalks, ideal for afternoon strolls; large parks with playgrounds and green space; and historic attractions like Wright's Ferry Mansion, built in 1738, and Columbia Wagon Works, a wagon factory built in 1889.
Columbia was first settled by Quakers in 1724, led to the area by John Wright. Wright established a ferry and built a ferry house and a tavern, and the town began to steadily grow around it. Today, this charming borough stretches along the Susquehanna River and is treasured for its historic district and as the headquarters of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. Be sure to visit the clock museum after finding your Columbia apartment.

GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
