Columbus's Arts District — galleries, rooftop patios, and true walk-everywhere urban living under the arches.
The Short North Arts District is the beating heart of urban Columbus — a lit-arch stretch of High Street packed with galleries, chef-driven restaurants, boutiques, and the famous first-Saturday Gallery Hop.
Housing here means lofts, modern condos, and historic Victorian doubles that put you steps from Goodale Park, the Convention Center, the Arena District, and Ohio State. If you want to walk everywhere, this is the address.
Gallery Hop every first Saturday, murals on nearly every block & one of the best gallery scenes in the Midwest.
Goodale Park's 32 acres anchor the neighborhood, with the Olentangy Trail and Scioto Mile minutes away.
High Street is Columbus's restaurant row — rooftop patios, cocktail bars, boutiques & the North Market nearby.
Stroll to downtown, the Convention Center, the Arena District & OSU — many residents go days without a car.
Blue Jackets games & concerts in the Arena District, festivals in Goodale Park & nightlife at your doorstep.
Sleek new condos and lofts share blocks with restored Victorian brick — urban living with real history.
A few favorites — ask us which fits your budget and lifestyle.
