Columbus, Georgia

East Carver Heights

This neighborhood encompasses three subdivisions: East Carver Heights and Carver Plaza were begun in the early 1960s, and Carriage Estates developed about a decade later. All three contain single-family homes and small apartment complexes. Faced with slow sales, the developers took advantage of President L. B. Johnson’s Great Society programs to build federally subsidized homes, especially along the eastern edge of these suburbs.
