Columbia Corporate Housing FAQs
I'm taking a contract job in Columbia, IA. What should I know before I book housing?
Columbia is a very small community in Marion County, so most workers look at the broader south-central Iowa region. It helps to confirm your job site location first, then we can talk through options nearby. Our minimum stay is one month, with discounted rates at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Which airport should I fly into if I'm working near Columbia?
Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is the closest major commercial airport and the usual gateway for visitors to this part of Iowa. From there, most people rent a car, since the area is rural and public transportation is limited.
What's the best way to get around and find groceries or services while staying there?
Plan on having a car, as Columbia is small and residents typically rely on nearby larger towns like Knoxville or Pella for groceries, dining, and medical care. Many people also make a trip to the Des Moines metro area for bigger shopping and services.
What is the minimum stay for corporate housing in Columbia?
Our minimum stay is one month. Discounted rates are available for stays of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, so longer assignments and relocations get the best value.
