Our Take
This Columbus neighborhood has solid walkability, decent bike access, and good schools, but its high housing costs and a relatively high proportion of renters mean you’ll need to be comfortable with a costlier lifestyle. It’s close to downtown, so commutes are short, but you should watch out for moderate crime and noise from nearby transit routes.
