About This Building

Blue River Apartments: A Vibrant Community in Columbia City, Indiana Discover the charm and comfort of Blue River Apartments, a thriving 60 apartment community situated in the heart of Columbia City, Indiana.

The Waterfall building is a specially designed space for qualified applicants aged 63 and above who have very low income. We aim to provide affordable housing options for individuals who deserve a safe and nurturing place to call home. In 2010, we expanded our community by introducing Blue River Churubusco, a delightful 22-unit apartment complex located in the neighboring town of Churubusco.
