Unique Columbus Neighborhoods Columbus is made up of many dynamic neighborhoods and communities. There is a movement toward urban living downtown with new condominiums and homes popping up every year. Some neighborhoods are locked in geographically while others outside the 1-270 outer belt are still growing. Each area is proud of its “flavor” and Columbus offers many for you to enjoy.

The City of Bexley was established in 1908 with its own elected mayor, city council, and police department. Just east of downtown, Bexley has a small population of approximately 14,000, with outstanding schools and excellent city services. Along with the public school system, Bexley is home to the exceptional Columbus School for Girls and St. Charles Preparatory School for boys. Bexley is also home to Capital University. It is populated with Tudor Style mansions as well as contemporary homes and condominiums. Many of the grand old houses were built during the prosperous 1920s and still carry the names of their original owners Jeffrey, Huntington, and Lazarus.
Further north along High Street are the communities of Clintonville and Beechwold. Whetstone Park is located here and is a popular spot with the Columbus Park of Roses where 11,000 rose bushes on 13 acres can be visited. These are two highly sought-after neighborhoods for people who want quiet streets and rows of quaint two-story homes, brick ranches, and Dutch colonials. These neighborhoods are like a city-within-a-city in Columbus.
