What Renters Like and Dislike
What Renters Like and Dislike About Columbus
Some architecture is really beautiful, access to a lot nearby parks, the families that live by who have been living nearby for generations.
My neighborhood is in a college town so there are always lots of house parties going on. There are a ton of bars and restaurants nearby & they are always busy, especially on the weekends. I enjoy going out to bars with friends.
Corner store close. The owner is friendly and cares about his customers.nothing unique. Papa John's. In the house.
Family friendly, there are shops and coffee shops close by. the neighbor is safe to walk in.neighbors are friendly
There's an airport nearby. The kids can play outside in the open space. It is usually pretty peaceful
1 thing is it is very safe. Another thing is that it's quiet. And another is it feels like a community.

Living in Columbus, OH
Getting to Know Columbus, OH
Columbus is at the geographical and cultural heart of Ohio. It's the home of the largest public university campus in the United States, and also the seat of Ohio's state government and several major companies. What's more, Columbus is just a short drive from Ohio's most scenic region. If the thought of living in Columbus doesn't excite you, you probably haven't been there.
Columbus Attractions
The single biggest Columbus attraction is undoubtedly the sprawling campus of The Ohio State University. The 1,800-acre expanse impresses visitors with architecturally significant buildings such as the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library. It also delights college sports fans who come to see the Buckeyes play football, basketball, baseball, tennis, ice hockey, gymnastics and more. Meanwhile, the Ohio Statehouse attracts thousands of visitors to the downtown every year. The Columbus Museum of Art and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, to name a few, round out the artistic side of the city's cultural diversity.
Neighborhoods around Columbus
- Forest Park East: Have kids and looking for a family-friendly area? Forest Park East is a more suburban area of the city, with more private homes and parks than most areas in the city.
- German Village: As you might guess from the name, there was a rush of German immigrants to the neighborhood now known as German Village in the 1830s. There are still some remnants of those German origins, but today it's known for a large variety of restaurants of all types. It's also known for great architecture, with several areas keeping the early 19th century German architecture, making for a very distinct looking neighborhood.
- Brewery District: Located right next to German Village, this was named because it was the home of the beer brewing industry brought over by those German settlers. It still lives up to that name, with craft breweries and all sorts of lively dining and entertainment options.
- King-Lincoln Bronzeville: A historically African-American community, King-Lincoln Bronzeville has seen a large revitalization effort in recent years. It's still in relatively early days, but starting with the restoration of the King-Lincoln Theatre, it looks like reviving this musically significant neighborhood is well on its way.
- Short North: Short North is the center of the Columbus art scene. If you're even remotely interested in galleries, theaters, museums or any other form of art, this is where you want to be. Even the entry to the neighborhood is a distinctive set of arches, making sure you know you've entered the creative neighborhood of the city.

Columbus's Natural Beauty
Columbus is known for the winding jogging and biking trails lining the riverfront, stretching into the gently rolling suburban neighborhoods surrounding the city. Nearby Slate Run Metropark and Alley Park boast picture-perfect picnicking spots. Further out, the rugged hills to the south and east of town delight hikers, mountain bikers and rock climbers with their seemingly endless nooks and crannies. Popular protected areas in this region include Hocking State Forest and Lake Logan State Park. Don't miss the Scioto Mile, a 175-acre riverside area, with its bike paths, walkways, playgrounds, and the famous whimsical fountain at Bicentennial Park.
