Eastgate Home for Sale

Eastgate in Columbus is a tucked-away neighborhood between the Norfolk and Western Railway, Interstate 670 and Alum Creek, giving residents a quieter feel while still staying close to major parts of the city. The area has historic and midcentury homes, with many updated Cape Cod and National Folk-style houses on lots that are usually under a fifth of an acre. Prices tend to run from the high $100,000s to the high $300,000s, often coming in lower than nearby Woodland Park, Franklin Park and Bexley, but higher than Shepard, Devon Triangle and Mount Vernon. Streets have narrow sidewalks and plenty of maple trees, and most residents rely on street parking or carports since attached garages are uncommon. For things to do, Nelson Park sits near the center of Eastgate with a playground, basketball courts, a multipurpose field and access to the Alum Creek Greenway Trail. Nearby, Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Alum Creek Parkland and Jeffrey Park give residents more options for outdoor time within a couple of miles. Daily errands are manageable with a Kroger about a mile-and-a-half away in Franklin Park, Town & Country Shopping Center 3 miles away in Whitehall and Easton Town Center about 6 miles away for larger shopping trips. Madison Soul Food Kitchen and Old Bag of Nails in nearby Bexley add casual dining choices close to home.
