Columbia is the planned community at the center of Howard County: ten villages of single-family homes, townhomes and apartments built around lakes and pathways, with Town Center, The Mall in Columbia, Merriweather Post Pavilion and Howard County General Hospital at its core. The Route 29, Route 175 and I-95 corridors and the Columbia Gateway office parks hold dense clusters of medical and dental practices, professional firms, contractors and home-service companies serving a highly educated, multilingual population.
