| The central part of Indiana is an unlikely place to find a city like Columbus.
In fact, Columbus, Indiana – an architectural oasis in the central part of Indiana – surprises visitors with its urban feel and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Nestled in the center of a triangle formed by Indianapolis – 45 minutes North, Louisville - 60 minutes South and Cincinnati – 90 minutes East, Columbus makes a significant contribution to the State of Indiana. Columbus residents are treated to the benefits and quality of life offered in small-town America while enjoying the fruits of the metropolitan areas surrounding it.
So many possibilities exist here: living on one of the many lakes, tranquil neighborhoods, tree-lines streets, beautiful landscaping, quality education, employment opportunities both within and just outside of Columbus, community involvement, contributing and making a difference. These opportunities exist in this quiet setting but still within reach of the hustle, bustle, crowds, and fast-paced society. Residents and guests marvel at this truly unique, uncommon city.
Though quiet the setting, life in and around Columbus offers a wide range of activities for both participants and observers. While this list is by no means complete, there is so much to see and do. Let us take you on a tour of this area.
