Welcome to Columbia Heights! Find Your Place Here.

Incorporated in 1898, Columbia Heights is an older neighborhood just north of Minneapolis. The older neighborhoods are indicative of the Polish-American community that first settled in the area, while newer neighborhoods are proof of the post-war boom a lot of Minnesotan cities experienced.

Columbia Heights works to commemorate the past while planning for the future, truly embracing an ā€œold meets newā€ environment. The city is home to the Heights Theatre, the Twin Cities longest continuously operated show house.
