Top neighborhoods in Columbus

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.

University-adjacent energy transforms Weinland Park, where historic homes undergo revitalization near Ohio State University's expanding campus. Residents enjoy the Italian Village's restaurants and breweries just blocks away and the neighborhood's walkable access to High Street shopping. Though student housing creates some weekend noise, the area's architectural significance and central location attract both young professionals and faculty seeking historic character with urban convenience. Community organizations actively work to maintain economic diversity through affordable housing initiatives alongside market-rate development, creating a more balanced neighborhood than typical university-adjacent gentrification.
