University District

About this neighborhood

Town meets gown in this urban area encompassing the neighborhoods around The Ohio State University. The Old North was the first neighborhood here, and a series of remarkable transformations has seen this area change from farm to campus to streetcar suburbs to a center of education, recreation, and culture. The most densely populated area in Columbus, the University District is also the location of nearly 650 businesses, churches, schools, and social agencies.
