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.

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.
