Bexley Columbus, OH

About this neighborhood

Bexley’s rapidly developing Main Street commercial corridor welcomes residents and visitors to the historic Drexel Theatre, wide-ranging dining options, art venues, and unique shopping destinations. Incorporated as a village in 1908, Bexley is an old tree-lined suburb located on the banks of Alum Creek next to Driving Park or Wolfe Park. A college town bisected by the National Road, Bexley resulted from a merger of neighborhoods including the prestigious Bullitt Park, established in 1889, and the Lutheran community centered on Capital University and Trinity Lutheran Seminary. Notable properties include the Ohio Governor's Mansion, Jeffrey Mansion "Kelveden," and the estate used for the President of The Ohio State University.
