Old North Columbus
Old North Columbus
What it’s like to live in Old North Columbus
College town character defines Old North Columbus, where historic homes and apartments surround Ohio State University's northern boundary. The district centers around the vibrant High Street corridor with locally-owned restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques creating walkable alternatives to campus chain establishments. Though student concentration creates seasonal turnover and occasional weekend noise, many blocks maintain more balanced demographics suitable for graduate students and young professionals requiring consistent quiet. The area's excellent public transportation includes multiple bus routes creating car-optional living unusual for typically automobile-oriented Midwestern cities, while the flat topography makes bicycle transportation practical throughout most months despite occasional winter weather interruptions requiring alternative planning during peak snow seasons.

Diverse dining thrives along Cleveland Avenue's Global Food Corridor. Renters appreciate affordable duplexes but note sparse tree canopy (18% coverage) in this sun-baked grid of postwar housing.

What it’s like to live in Riverside
Historic character defines Riverside, where Columbus's northwestern neighborhood features distinctive architecture spanning multiple design eras. The district surrounds multiple parks including Whetstone Park with its popular rose gardens, while the nearby Clintonville commercial district provides walkable amenities unusual for typically car-dependent Midwestern cities. Though some properties show their age with vintage systems requiring occasional maintenance, the established tree canopy provides natural beauty and cooling shade during Ohio summers – advantages impossible to replicate in newer developments with recently planted landscaping.
