Sixth Ward Apartments for Rent

The Sixth Ward is a thriving city community on the southeast side of Columbia, Missouri. College Avenue separates the Sixth Ward from the University of Missouri campus, and combined with Providence Road, makes up the western border of the neighborhood. East Broadway hosts the Waters Memorial Wildlife area and serves as the northernmost border for the ward.

Rockbridge Shopping Center, located at the intersection of Providence Road, and Grindstone Parkway, covers the neighborhood shopping necessities with its Hy-Vee. Visitors can get a fantastic tan at Tan Fastic Tan, a quick meal at China Kitchen, or grab a film at Movie Gallery.

Nature is never too far away with the Waters Memorial Wildlife Area, south of the East Stadium Boulevard and Old Highway 63 intersection. Waters Memorial has 117 acres of green forest, is made all the more scenic by the pond, and Grindstone Creek, which is overlooked by 75 foot high limestone bluffs.

Sixth Warders’ outdoor fun continues less than 10 miles south at Rock Bridge State Park, which opened in 1967. Its more than 2,200 acres feature cave tours, fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Visitors can explore Connor’s Cave, and find the small stream, sinkhole, and small spring within.

Few communities have such diverse offerings as the Sixth Ward. Just across the street from downtown Columbia, Sixth Warders watch a show in the city, hit the Rockbridge Shopping Center for groceries, and picnic at one of several parks all in the same day. Come enjoy the city and nature in Columbia, Missouri’s Sixth Ward.
