Third Ward Apartments for Rent

Columbia, Missouri’s robust Third Ward is nestled on the northeastern side of the city. Immediately east of downtown, the Third Ward is a lush green escape from the neighboring city. The local Stephens Park and Lake are complemented by the long fairways of two 18-hole golf courses. Shopping and medical care are also available in the neighborhood.

It is easy to relax in the shade on Stephens Park’s 116 acres. Exercise on the more than two miles of trails, playgrounds or enjoy the two waterfalls. Swim, Kayak, or just relax on the beaches of Stephens Lake, which is attached to the park.

Columbia Country Club’s championship golf course has been a fixture in the city since 1921. Its wooded fairways and lightning fast greens sprawl out over 120 acres. Less than five miles east is another 18-hole course at Forest Hill Country Club.

Shopping is a local affair with the Whitegate Shopping Center located on the Third Ward’s western border and interstate 70. Mothers can rest easy with the knowledge that the Third Ward is home to Missouri’s only hospital facility dedicated completely to women. The University of Missouri Women’s and Children’s hospital also has more than 30 pediatric specialties to provide the best care for Missouri’s children.

Columbia’s Third Ward is an eastern escape from the city’s downtown. Breathtaking Stephens Park and Lake call the Third Ward home, along with the long wooded fairways of two 18-hole golf courses. Shopping and medical care make this a safe and relaxing area in northeast Columbia.
