Life at CCAD

One of the worst-kept secrets about Columbus is how affordable it is to live, work and play here. Entrepreneurs love how affordably their dreams can become reality. Young professionals enjoy rents that let them enjoy the city beyond their apartments. And, when it’s time to settle down, first-time homebuyers find plenty of options in good neighborhoods at reasonable prices. Don’t take our word for it, though. Lots of national publications are boasting about Columbus’ affordability.
