These are six of the most expensive apartments for rent in Columbia right now

Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, low interest rates and increased demand for larger and nicer homes caused a dramatic, countrywide surge in the real estate market.

The effects of this can be seen in Columbia, as builders work to increase the supply of available housing to meet the increased demand. Lady Street alone is currently home to three construction projects, two of which are apartment complexes already set to house hundreds of residents.

In fact, since the beginning of 2020 more than $1 billion has been invested in Columbia with a large focus going directly towards multifamily residential and mixed-use development projects.

These developments have increased the availability of high-end housing options in Columbia. Here are six of the most expensive apartment complexes currently available for rent in Columbia.
