Just five miles north of Downtown Minneapolis, Columbia Heights is a historic community that combines the amenities of the big city with the more relaxed pace of the suburbs. Most of the landscape is occupied by residential neighborhoods, with a rental market spanning from affordable small houses and apartments to more upscale condos and homes.
The majority of the city’s commercial activity runs along Central Avenue, with everything from international grocers to popular local eateries to the historic Heights Theatre located on this corridor. In addition to the urban resources of the Twin Cities, you’ll also be just minutes away from countless parks, golf courses, and other outdoor recreation facilities in the area.

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.
