Columbia, Maryland is a great place to call home. Columbia, Maryland is a planned community in the heart of Howard County that consists of ten self contained villages. It is considered a suburb of Baltimore and somewhat close enough to Washington DC to call Columbia home and commute on a daily basis. Located close to Interstate 95 and serviced by The MARC train these Metro areas are easily accessed. Opened in 1967, Columbia was designed to not only eliminate the inconveniences of then-current subdivision design, but also eliminate racial, religious, and income segregation.  Columbia offers great schools, community activities, parks, rec centers and shopping. In the center of Columbia is the Columbia Mall and it does seem that all roads lead there.      2010    2009    % Change Total Sol... 02/22/2010
