What are the best places to live in Columbus?

I am transferring to a university in Ohio. I plan to get a one-bedroom apartment in a centralized part of the city, but seeing as I’m totally unfamiliar with the area, I don’t know where to look. Where are the best places to live in Columbus, OH?

It’s exciting to change scenery! The best places to live in
Columbus
are predominantly up-and-coming neighborhoods in
Ohio’s
capital.
Here are some of the top picks:
  • German Village: Built in the mid-1800s, this area is full of brick houses, shops, and sidewalks brimming with historic charm. It’s a short walk away from downtown and has lots of food options, bars, and breweries.
  • Brewery District: West of German Village, the Brewery District was built by German immigrants who used their brewing skills to establish a community here. The brewery market diminished during the Prohibition Era, and in recent years, large-scale redevelopment has taken place here, making it one of the most desirable Columbus neighborhoods to live in.
  • Shot North: Take one look at the murals and you’ll know this is the art district of Columbus. Galleries, theaters, and an endless amount of bars and good restaurants make this a great place to call home.
  • Franklinton and downtown: After decades of neglect, developers are helping resurge the Franklinton and downtown neighborhoods, building many properties amongst the galleries and historical attractions.
