City of Columbia Heights
Located just across the border of Northeast Minneapolis with a population of roughly 20,000, Columbia Heights features a unique blend of big-city and small-town attributes. Visit one of its 15 parks, stop by the growing business district along Central Ave, or check out the state-of-the-art Columbia Heights Public Library, one of the few remaining city-run libraries in the state. Say ‘hi’ to our police and firefighters who you’ll frequently see out in the community building relationships with our residents. The Police Department is a multi-internationally award winning organization that has been a pioneer in community policing. The Fire Department educates 1,700 local school students per year in fire safety. Columbia Heights also features a diverse population with some of the most civically engaged residents in the state, with a thriving community of volunteers and consistently above-average voter turnout. It's no wonder Columbia Heights was named an All-America City by the National Civic League in 2016.
