Columbia Heights is a neighborhood well-known for its diverse multicultural community and strong neighborhood pride. With its concentration of schools, housing options, and mix of national retail and local eateries, residents of all ages have found a reason to put down roots. It acquariered a historical significance when developers eyed the area of Columbia Heights with a desire to build residences that would attract wealthy politicians and government office holders. After the demographic changes in the 19th century, a new Metro station sparked a renaissance in Columbia Heights in 1999. Retail establishments quickly claimed footholds and were followed by a growing number of independent businesses.

Columbia Heights has experienced a rebirth in recent years and is now a bustling cultural epicenter with top rated restaurants and activities serving people from all backgrounds.
