Sitting on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, downtown Columbus is a terrific community with a variety of historic sites and a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. One must-visit is Heritage Corner, where five restored homes stand as symbols of Georgia's history. One of the most famous of these is the home of Dr. John Pemberton, the inventor of Coca-Cola.
The local population spends their time in the Uptown District, which features a friendly vibe. Columbus Business Improvement District Ambassadors take to the streets to offer information, guidance, and directions. The district includes trendy lofts and apartment complexes housed in historical buildings. The weekly Farmers Market is held from April through November, providing Columbus residents with fresh produce, baked goods, and a variety of handmade items.
Downtown Columbus’ bustling atmosphere and close proximity to numerous universities makes the neighborhood a popular choice for many students, faculty, and staff of Columbus State University, Columbus Technical College, Miller-Motte Technical College, Strayer University, and Troy University Phenix City Campus.
