Positioned just west of Interstate 35 about 26 miles north of Minneapolis, Columbus is a scenic city that encompasses both wilderness preserves and a number of small lakes. The community itself is relatively secluded, and there are just a few rentals that give residents the experience of living directly in Columbus. Neighboring communities like Forest Lake also hold a number of charming apartment options as well as most of the retail and restaurant options for this secluded area just outside the city.
You’ll find locals hiking, hunting, and fishing in the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area. Commuters will love how close the interstate is, making a commute into the city a breeze.
