A historic community located in Columbus’s Park District
Columbus's past and present mix in Saint Elmo-Weracoba. This Midtown community is within the lush Park District, an established area with some of the city's most intact historic midcentury homes. It runs alongside Weracoba Park, which is perfect for those who want the amenities of a green space within walking distance. Close to major employers like Columbus State University and Aflac, it's an ideal choice for those seeking to live a short distance from work.

Coleman has been serving the area for over 12 years. “This whole area is so friendly—neighbors are welcoming, there are lots of small businesses you can walk to at the shopping center and Lakebottom park is right there. It’s a neat little area.”
