2010 - built in 1925 apartment houses at 515 and 517 Columbia Drive, Davis Island (#4128)

I lived in the front second floor apartment, marked with the 'X', at 515 Columbia Drive from December 1967 to May 1969 and then moved next door to 517 until July 1970. The apartment house at 517 was under different ownership and the apartments were carpeted and had air-conditioning. The monthly rent also went up from $50 per month (furnished) to $75 per month (furnished).

Thanks for writing, and for the updated information, Kimberly. Those are sure durable buildings if anything and I loved the location and neighborhood. The neighbors were fine people at the time too.

I lived on the rear unit of the second floor of this building from 2002-2005. They have not been updated much since 1925. Original cabinets, sink and tiles in kitchen. Original wood floors too. It looks like most of the Florida style windows have been replaced since I moved out though. Rent was $550/month when I lived there which isn't too bad for Davis Islands and I had a nice view of the water. The building next door has received a few more updates over the years, mainly in the kitchen, and rent goes for $665/month in that building. I am thinking of moving back actually, this was my favorite place I have ever lived over the years.
