Columbus, GAArea Information

Columbus, the fourth-largest city in Georgia, is located 100 miles southwest of Atlanta, in the heart of Chattahoochee Valley and near the Georgia-Alabama border.

One of the best things about renting in Columbus is its mix of historic charm and contemporary attractions. The city has a thriving theater scene and is home to Columbus State University?s music, art and drama departments.

When renting an apartment in Columbus, you?ll also be part of a thriving military community. Fort Benning is one of the city?s biggest employers, and the National Infantry Museum and National Civil War Naval Museum share military history with the public.

Popular neighborhoods to consider when seeking apartments for rent in Columbus include Woodlawn Estates, an upscale neighborhood with impressive houses, and Dinglewood, a historic district.

There aren't any major cities near Columbus, so many residents both live and work in town. However, the Fort Benning military base is only a 12-minute drive away along US-280, making Columbus an ideal spot for residents who report to work at Fort Benning but want to live off base. The nearest interstate is I-185.

Renting in Columbus, GA
