What it’s like to live in Iuka Ravine
Nestled between Ohio State University and the Olentangy River, Iuka Ravine features distinctive homes along a wooded gorge creating unexpected natural beauty. The uniquely designed street follows the natural ravine contours, creating charming housing options unlike typical campus rentals. While popular with faculty and graduate students seeking character over convenience, parking can be challenging and winter ice requires caution on the neighborhood's steeper sections.

Academic energy permeates this Ohio State-adjacent area where High Street's late-night pizza joints buzz after games. Renters contend with 3AM trash pickup schedules but enjoy free admission to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library's massive comic archive.
