Planned convenience characterizes Harpers Choice, where Columbia's visionary mixed-use design creates walkable neighborhoods with integrated amenities. Residents enjoy the Columbia Association facilities including pools and tennis courts, plus the extensive pathway system connecting residential areas to Harpers Choice Village Center.
