Columbus, MS Apartments for Rent

Columbus is the county seat of Lowndes County and birthplace of playwright Tennessee Williams, sitting along the scenic Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in eastern Mississippi. The city preserves an impressive collection of antebellum architecture and maintains a historic downtown district that reflects its deep Southern heritage. If you're looking for apartments for rent in Columbus, you'll find an affordable housing market where one-bedroom units average around $843 per month—great options for renters who want both historic charm and modern convenience.

The city offers easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment throughout its downtown area, while outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy Columbus Propst Park, Lee Park, and the Lion Hills Center and Golf Club. Columbus is home to Mississippi University for Women, the nation's first public college for women, which adds to the city's educational and cultural atmosphere. With Columbus Air Force Base nearby and U.S. Highway 45 running through town, residents have convenient commute options throughout the region. Plus, Columbus's location within The Golden Triangle area—which includes West Point and Starkville—means additional employment and lifestyle opportunities are just a short drive away.
