GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD

We have loved living in Long Reach, the neighborhood is very friendly with young families starting to move in for the great location and variety of home styles here. Our kids loved growing up in Columbia and the schools are great. Howard High School is a 5 star school! We also love how easy it is to get onto main roads like 95 and 29 to get to work or places like Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, DC.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT COLUMBIA

· Excellent local for access to job opportunities, shopping, culture and travel.

· All the great events in Columbia like the free summer concerts at Centennial Lake, movie nights downtown, 4th of July fireworks and so much more.

· Great trails and lakes for walking and biking

· Incredible selection of restaurants and shopping within minutes

· Nationally recognized school system in Howard County

FAVORITE RESTAURANTS & SHOPS

Some restaurants we like are Clyde’s at the Lakefront in Columbia, PF Chang’s for Chinese Food and we love Eggspections for brunch.

Columbia has a lot of grocery options! We like to go to Wegman’s and Trader Joe’s which are both less than 5 minutes from our house. Whole Foods recently opened near the Columbia Mall as well.

For shopping, the Columbia Mall has every store you can imagine from large department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom’s to small boutiques that have been there for decades and everything in between. There is always plenty of parking and the mall is just minutes from us.

The mall has expanded in the past few years and has a movie theatre and lots of dining options as well.
