East Linden Homes for Rent

East Linden in Columbus is undergoing significant redevelopment, enhancing the neighborhood with refurbished homes, a fresh produce market, and a large recreational center. The area features American Foursquares, bungalows, and National-style homes from the 1940s and 1950s, often with new roofing, front porches, and fresh paint. These single-family homes are typically under 1,000 square feet, with small front yards and larger, tree-dotted backyards. Residents frequently use the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) for transportation, with multiple stops along East Hudson Street and Cleveland Avenue. East Linden is conveniently located about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Columbus, 4 miles from The Ohio State University, and less than 15 minutes from the airport. The neighborhood offers several points of interest, including the Linden Community Center, which reopened in 2021 and features an indoor basketball court, fitness room, elevated walking track, and arts and ceramics room. Adjacent to the center is an outdoor park with a playground, tennis courts, walking path, and a pond. Joan Park, a 4-acre green space, provides paved walking trails and shaded picnic tables. For dining, Ena’s Caribbean Kitchen on Cleveland Avenue is a local favorite, known for its jerk chicken. The Linden Fresh Market, less than 2 miles south, offers fresh produce and a free pharmacy, while Save A Lot provides additional grocery essentials less than a mile away. The Linden Community Plan aims to enhance the neighborhood through programs focused on housing, early childhood education, and community investment.
