Columbus, GA Apartments for Rent

Columbus sits along the Chattahoochee River on the Georgia-Alabama border and is home to the longest urban whitewater course in the world. If you're hunting for apartments for rent in Columbus, you'll discover everything from Victorian-era homes in the Heritage District to modern apartment communities in the growing MidTown area. The city's 15-mile Riverwalk makes for great morning jogs or evening strolls, while downtown spots like the Springer Opera House (Georgia's official State Theater) and the Columbus Museum keep culture close to home.

Renting in Columbus won't break the bank-one-bedroom apartments average around $1,051, which leaves more money in your pocket compared to other Georgia cities. Green Island Hills and MidTown are go-to neighborhoods where apartment communities put you close to Uptown's shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Fort Moore, the major military base just south of town, employs thousands and makes Columbus a smart pick for military families and civilian workers. Columbus State University's RiverPark campus brings energy to downtown, while well-connected roads make getting around the metro area a breeze. With its mix of Southern character, outdoor fun along the river, and wallet-friendly rents, Columbus delivers solid value for renters.

Why Columbus?

  • Fort Benning, a US Army post, is a short distance from Columbus and a major area employer.
  • The Columbus Airport is the fourth busiest airport in the state of Georgia.
  • Columbus State University, established in 1958, is a major part of the community.
  • The highly-acclaimed CSU RiverPark, a fine and performing arts campus, hosts amazing performers from around the world.
  • Chattahoochee RiverWalk is a 22-mile walking and biking path along the Chattahoochee River, making Columbus one of the most biking-friendly cities in the nation.
  • Downtown’s landmarks include the Aflac Tower, SunTrust Plaza, and Total System Headquarters.
