Home inspection in Columbia Heights.

Columbia Heights is a 3.6-square-mile inner-ring Anoka County city of about 21,000 residents directly north of Minneapolis. The housing inventory is dominated by 1925-1955 wartime and post-war stock: small bungalows, story-and-a-halves, and Capes on 50-foot lots, with a smaller pocket of 1960s-70s ramblers on the city's north side.
