Columbia attracts visitors, being home to the Turkey Hill Experience, National Watch & Clock Collectors Museum, Wright's Ferry Mansion and the many Victorian era buildings in the Historic District. As a result, Columbia has been named one of "The 20 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2014" by Smithsonian magazine.
A small river town in the Susquehanna Valley, Columbia is a community that is in the midst of being revitalized. With a long, well-rooted history and a distinct culture, Columbia is a tightly knit community where local residents have known each other for generations. Sound daunting? Simmer down -- you won't be an outcast. Being convenient to major business and industrial areas means that residents have also become used to seeing new faces, and this makes Columbia a great destination for folks looking to move into the Susquehanna Region.

Finding an apartment in Columbia that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
