“A handful of new projects near Columbia that are well worth considering. Columbia University is surrounded by old buildings, and large-scale new construction projects have always been rare, especially the only two of this scale and quality are Vandewater and Clairemont Hall the year before. It is one of the few properties that I think buyers who have Columbia needs can consider investing in and living in. Suggested floor plan 1-2 bedrooms, unless necessary, do not need to buy 3 bedrooms”
