Places to stay in Columbia, Maryland
Columbia is a planned community that consists of ten self-contained villages, located in Howard County, Maryland. Columbia is a suburb of Baltimore and Washington, D. C. It began with the idea that a city could enhance its residents' quality of life. Creator and developer James W. Rouse saw the new community in terms of human values, not just in terms of economics and engineering. Opened in 1967, Columbia was designed to not only eliminate the inconveniences of then-current subdivision design, but also eliminate racial, religious, and income segregation. Places to eat in the region include Leelynn's Dining Room, Lee Lynn's Dining Room & Lounge, Outback Steakhouse, and Tino's Italian Bistro.
If you are travelling in the area, Columbia is located close to Church of the Advent, Arundel Hills Park, Arbutus Elementary School, Red Roof Inn Washington DC - Laurel and Wilton Heights Methodist Protestant Church.
The center of Columbia ( which is at is longitude -76°50'18.6 and latitude 39°14'25.8 ) is located 3 miles away from Ellicott City, 7 miles away from Catonsville, 7 miles away from Elkridge and 8 miles away from Jessup.
