German Village

• Neighborhood in Columbus, OH

Nearby Resident: German Village is a great area to get started in Columbus . It is a very diverse neighborhood with great parks and busy sidewalks full of other residents walking and enjoying the air year round. There is an easy commute to nearly anywhere in the city of Columbus and while it is a well known area, it never feels too busy or overcrowded. It is a great area to start a family and the surrounding areas are improving and growing every day!

Harrison West

• Neighborhood in Columbus, OH
• 3

Current Resident: Harrison West is a lovely neighborhood nestled between Victorian Village and Grandview. The neighborhood is walking distance from Goodale Park and all of the dining, shopping, and nightlife of the Short North, yet removed enough that the hustle and bustle isn't at your doorstep. Similarly, a less than 5 minute drive will put you in the Grandview and Lennox areas, where you will find popular national retail chains mixed with local favorites. Two movie theaters are easily reached, and bike trail entries lead to all areas of the city. The Arena District and Downtown are a stone's through away, providing quick, walkable access to sporting events, concerts, and festivals. This neighborhood offers a wealth of opportunity for experiencing Columbus, while remaining moderately priced.

Grandview Heights

• Suburb of Columbus, OH
• 2

Current Resident: I’ve lived here for 20 years. Grew up here and have watched Grandview evolve from a sleepy suberb to a booming millennial mecca in Columbus. It really is the perfect location with its close proximity to downtown and the university. It’s extremely safe and has great schools. The downside to its growing popularity is 1. It’s now extremely expensive and 2. all the new construction is causing the town to lose some of its charm.

Old North Columbus

• Neighborhood in Columbus, OH
• 22

Current Resident: It is mostly a college neighborhood full of OSU students. Some apartments can be in need of an update, they are usually reasonably priced though. It is one of the quieter areas around campus, but activities can still be found nearby on High Street and at the park/ running and biking trail.

King-Lincoln

• Neighborhood in Columbus, OH
• 4

Current Resident: King-Lincoln is an interesting example of a very diverse, mixed-income neighborhood. With some of the most reasonable home prices in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Downtown Columbus, its not surprising that a lot of young families are beginning to snatch up the historic, newly-renovated homes in the neighborhood. King-Lincoln's current level of redevelopment is certainly lagging behind that of Olde Towne East and the areas surrounding Children's Hospital. That being said, however, if inventory shortages continue to persist in the market, King-Lincoln is certainly poised to attract its fair share of young professionals that are moving away from apartments or shared-living arrangements, and into their first homes, while staying close to the urban core with easy access to highways and suburban amenities.

Hyde Park

• Neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH
• 7

Current Resident: Hyde Park is a friendly enclave that is close enough to the action of Cincinnati to be exciting. With all the benefits of "in town" urban living, the neighborhood also offers a "small town" feel. Life here is convenient, comfortable and safe. Schooling is a challenge, with limited secondary options. However, numerous Catholic and non-denominational schools provide opportunities at varied price points for education. Real estate taxes are high.

Clintonville

• Neighborhood in Columbus, OH
• 24

Current Resident: It is a bustling subsection of columbus proper which has a feel all its own. It is a good town for raising children or animals if you choose. Many things in the area are within walking distance from all houses. On one of the main streets, in the middle of a tight knit neighborhood, there is a single theater movie theater and bar, there is also a pizza shop, local coffee shop, dry-cleaning facility and much more. Many of the schools in the clintonville area are also walking distance from housing. Clintonville is a very close community that continuously cares about all of the other people in the area.

Columbia Tusculum

• Neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH
• 1

Current Resident: Columbia Tusculum is a small up and coming neighborhood 15 minutes east of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The area has a few staple locations that are must-have go to spots, such as: Zip's, Terry's Turf Club, several parks and vintage shops, making the shopping experience one of a kind. The housing development is only growing. The older houses are being flipped into higher end properties making great starter homes for couples, professionals, or being rented out. With Columbia Tusculum being on the rise with development, new businesses are also flocking to this east side town, including fitness centers, bars, restaurants, and breweries. The people in the town are mostly locals so everyone is friendly, there's even a neighborhood site for people to post for missing animals, traffic, yard sales, neighborhood watch, park events, and plays.
