Columbus Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 1,461 reviews
Living in Columbus has been a wonderful experience. Columbus is a great city and offers great balance between urban amenities and suburban charm. The community is diverse and welcoming with numerous events and festivals that celebrate different cultures throughout the year. I like the how they have different restaurants and shops and cultural venues like the Columbus museum of Art and the Ohio Theatre. The public parks, such as Scioto mile provide beautiful green spaces for relaxation. I would like to see changes on public transportation. The government should invest more on the public transportation to make commuting easier.
I moved to Ohio around five or six years ago, and I have to say that overall I really like living here. I like the culture, and I like the people, and most of all, as a growing adult I find that the amount of job opportunities is extremely sufficient and plentiful here in Ohio. I feel like my experience has overall been a great one. One of the things that make me happy about living. Here is the fact that I have forged amazing friendships and connections with a lot of people, and I may have not been born here, I feel like this is my home.
Columbus is great city to start a life and grow one's life in. Columbus is city that is not too busy, but has more than enough events, restaurants, and business opportunities for people to be apart of feel like Columbus is home. Furthermore, Columbus offers great opportunities for housing for all incomes and the ability to raise a family on a budget.
