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.

What it’s like to live in Downtown Columbus
Urban excitement pulses through Downtown Columbus, where glass towers offer views of Scioto Mile fountains and riverfront paths. Residents enjoy walkable access to North Market's artisanal food stalls and Columbus Commons' free summer concerts. Weekend convention crowds at Greater Columbus Convention Center create pedestrian energy but challenge parking availability—many residents forgo cars entirely. Building amenities often include impressive fitness facilities and rooftop social spaces, though grocery options remain limited to specialty markets until planned developments complete.
