VILLAGE OF HARPER'S CHOICE

This was the third Columbia Village.  Harper's Choice offers a golf course as well as several parks. Hobbit's Glen has a full service clubhouse featuring a well stocked, competitively priced pro shop, full practice facility and CoHo Grill, a full service restaurant.

VILLAGE OF WILDE LAKE
Wilde Lake, dedicated in June, 1967 is Columbia's first Village. Built around a lake. This 22-acre man-made lake has a depth range from 13 feet at the back of the dam to 7-8 feet in the central part of the lake.

VILLAGE OF DORSEY'S SEARCH
On of the newer of the ten villages, Dorsey's Search was the ninth to be developed. Families began moving in to their homes in Dorsey's Search in 1980. Since then, there are over 7,500 residents.  The original Dorsey Hall still stands close to Route 29 at the intersection of Route 108. .

VILLAGE OF TOWN CENTER
The community of Town Center means shopping, shopping, shopping and is unique since it offers primarily condominium and town home type homes, in non-contiguous communities, all within walking distance of The Mall at Columbia.

VILLAGE OF HICKORY RIDGE
The first home owners moved in to Hickory Ridge in 1971 and have been at home here ever since. This is a large community going from the heart of Hickory Ridge to Route 32.  As with all Villages in Columbia, Hickory Ridge offers recreational facilities for folks to enjoy and stay fit. Columbia Association facilities in our village include three outdoor pools, two outdoor basketball courts, bike paths and tot lots. Enjoy. Much of Hickory Ridge was a dairy farm operated by the Bassler family.

VILLAGE OF RIVER HILL
River Hill is Columbia's tenth village and one of the most popular with buyers looking for new homes in Columbia. Recently constructed communities and a very popular public school cluster attract buyers to homes in River Hill.

VILLAGE OF OAKLAND MILLS
Oakland Mills offers families Columbia real estate with extraordinary value. On a per square foot basis, Oakland Mills is often the best buy in town. 

VILLAGE OF LONG REACH
The largest and one of the oldest of the ten villages that offer homes in Columbia, Maryland. Wonderful communities have grown in Long Reach: Jeffers Hill, Kendall Ridge, Locust Park and Phelps Luck, since construction began in 1971. The Village was to retain a large wooded stream traversing the neighborhoods while ponds and naturally wooded areas would remain as neighborhood parks.

VILLAGE OF OWEN BROWN
Owen Brown Village is popular with Columbia home buyers looking for a quick commute to Washington, DC since the community is located on the southern edge of Columbia. It is also close to some of the newer shopping developments along Snowden River Parkway and Broken Land.

VILLAGE OF KING'S CONTRIVANCE
The Village of King's Contrivance houses about 11,000 residents and is the third largest of the nine villages plus Town Center that make up Columbia. In 1977, the first neighborhood, Macgill's Common, was inhabited and the first village board was elected in April, 1978. The King's Contrivance is Columbia's special-occasion restaurant.
