Waverly Terrace was the city’s first subdivision
Established in 1906 to house a growing middle class, Waverly Terrace was the first planned subdivision in Columbus. This 45-acre community just north of downtown – framed by Hamilton Road to the west and 12th Avenue to the east – also held an elementary school and a central park. The last planned home for the subdivision was completed in 1929. Today, century-old homes line a compact grid of streets framed by sidewalks and trees, and the neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places. Most of the original homes are intact, but their conditions vary. Numerous homes hold rental units, and listings often tout their potential as investment properties. Proximity to downtown, Mercer School of Medicine and several hospitals are also draws. And iconic Rosehill Seafood is just across Hamilton Road.
