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.

What it’s like to live in North Linden

Harrison West

What it’s like to live in Harrison West

Urban revitalization pulses through this former industrial district now housing the Harrison Park Skate Plaza. Renters love converted factory lofts with exposed brick but face ongoing construction noise from the Scioto Mile riverfront expansion project through 2027.
