Top neighborhoods in 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.

What it’s like to live in North Linden

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.

Holly Hill

What it’s like to live in Holly Hill

Budget-conscious renters find excellent value in Holly Hill, where modest mid-century homes and garden apartments offer significantly more space than trendier Columbus districts. The neighborhood surrounds Woodward Park with its recreation facilities, while the nearby Morse Road commercial corridor provides practical amenities within easy reach. Though some properties show their age with vintage systems requiring occasional maintenance, the combination of affordability and reasonable access to both downtown and suburban employment creates practical advantages worth considering beyond architectural distinction.
