Berwick is a quiet, established East Side neighborhood in Columbus with winding streets lined by mature trees, spacious lots and midcentury homes. Major highways and downtown are a short drive away, and everyday conveniences like shopping, dining and a popular community center are all close by. Families also have quick access to both public and private school options in the area.
With its collection of midcentury homes, many ranch-style and split-level, Berwick has an old-school suburban vibe, complete with well-kept, spacious lawns dotted by mature trees. The winding street layout adds to the charm. "If you look at the roads in Berwick, they're not straight — they're all curved," says longtime local Rich Russo, managing broker of Rich Russo Realty & Co. "When I first moved here, I was driving in circles. It's like Hotel California — you get lost and never leave."
Recent sales have ranged from the low $200,000s to the low $500,000s, but larger floor plans and lots can push prices into the mid-$700,000s. Lots are generally larger here, some more than a quarter of an acre, than in nearby Glenbrook and Linwood, which is part of why prices tend to be higher, too. That said, prices are generally lower here than in nearby Bexley.
According to Russo, if there’s one place you’re sure to see your neighbors, it’s the Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus. “It’s a very active community center,” he says. “I’m not Jewish, and I’m still a member. They’ve got sports leagues, exercise classes, a gym, a daycare – it’s an awesome place. And a lot of people in Berwick can walk there.” Other amenities at the center include indoor and outdoor pools, a water playground and access to the Alum Creek Trail. The trail follows the wooded banks of Alum Creek, running right along the edge of the neighborhood. It connects to a larger network of paved greenways, letting visitors walk, bike or jog for miles along connected paths.
For shopping and dining, Berwick residents don’t have to go far. Main Street is about 2 miles away, with grocery stores like Kroger and Market District Express. National and regional chain eateries, from Jersey Mike’s to Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern. For a bit more Columbus character with your cuisine, there are plenty of locally owned spots around Main Street, too, including:
Columbus City Schools assigns neighborhood schools. Magnet and alternative options are available through a districtwide lottery, subject to seat availability. Families can pursue intra-district choice or interdistrict open enrollment, both subject to district policy and capacity. Nearby public schools include Berwick Alternative Elementary School and Walnut Ridge High School. Some highly rated private options within a short drive include Bishop Hartley High School, Columbus Montessori Education Center and St. Charles Preparatory School.
Berwick sits about 6 miles east of downtown Columbus with quick access to Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 33 from the neighborhood's south end. From there, connections to Interstate 71, Interstate 670 and Interstate 270 – the Outerbelt – make it easy to get around the metro. Key destinations include:
