Walnut Hills Homes for Rent

Walnut Hills, located east of Columbus at the intersection of Interstates 270 and 70, is a neighborhood known for its spacious homes and affordability. The area features well-built homes from the 1960s and '70s, primarily two-story traditional and split-level styles, ranging from 1500 to over 3000 square feet. Single-family homes typically have three to four bedrooms, while duplexes along Saranac Drive offer two to three bedrooms per unit. The neighborhood was once home to the Walnut Hill Golf Course, now transformed into the Walnut Hill Disc Golf Course, providing a unique recreational space with an 18-hole disc golf course, a playground, and a picnic shelter. For indoor activities, the Urban Air Adventure Park on Livingston Avenue offers a variety of attractions, including a zip line-like Sky Rider and a ropes course. Heritage Square Antique Mall, Central Ohio's largest antique mall, offers a slower-paced experience with its extensive collection of vintage items. The neighborhood is served by Oakmont Elementary School, Yorktown Middle School, and Independence High School, all part of the Columbus City School District. Transportation options are plentiful, with several COTA bus stops along Livingston Avenue and alternative routes via Main and Broad Streets for easy access to downtown Columbus. Walnut Hills has a low crime risk compared to the national average, making it a practical choice for families and first-time homebuyers.
