[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia is walkable but the city is intentionally decentralized (it is composed of 'villages' that have a small commercial (think store, gas station and a couple of chain and nonchain restaurants) center). Weirdly chain restaurants get more prominent placements so while it might appear that there are only chains there is a decent local scene (the howchow blog PP referenced is a great reference). I prefer EC to Columbia because of the annoying Columbia Association, which is a city-level HOA which is on top of your neighborhood HOA. Tho you can live in Columbia and not under the CA if you buy an 'out parceled' lot. It's not Arlington but yet people still manage to soldier on. I prefer Ellicott City to Columbia. [/quote]

My husband and I grew up in Columbia and moved to the historic Ellicott City after we married.  Had no desire to move to Columbia.  It was just too "pretty little boxes" for us.

However, we get great educations and lots of amenities while living there growing up.

I did the commute to DC for over 13 years and we have since moved to NoVA for work.[/quote]
