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.

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.
