Brentwood Park
Midcentury homes on well-kept lawns
The streets of Brentwood Park are lined with carefully manicured shrubbery, crisscrossing the gently sloping hills of the neighborhood. An abundance of midcentury homes with back patios and low-pitched rooftops sit on neatly maintained lawns. The nearly quarter-acre yards allow mature shade trees and small gardens near the front entryways. Ranch-style and split-level homes range between the low $300,000s and high $500,000s, depending on size and amenities like in-ground pools and finished basements.A working railroad track separates the neighborhood from the OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, just east. While Brentwood Park sits close to the freeway, Hamrick says, “You don’t get a lot of traffic noise. You’re more likely to hear one of the freight trains going by, and even those are few and far between.”

Columbus City Schools with plenty of spirit
Students begin at Winterset Elementary, which has a C-plus on Niche, before enrolling at Ridgeview Middle School, which has a C-minus. B-rated Centennial High School has an intense rivalry with nearby Whetstone High School, and during football season, residents pack the stands to watch what’s known locally as the Battle for the Olentangy. The game is named after the Olentangy River, which separates the school campuses. After graduating, students can stay close to home by attending The Ohio State University, less than 1.5 miles south of the neighborhood.

Unique options at Hudson 29
Though Brentwood Park is entirely residential, several shopping and dining hubs in Upper Arlington are within driving distance of the neighborhood. Hudson 29 specializes in an eclectic combination of flavors like wood-grilled salmon, Thai steak salad and over half a dozen styles of sushi in a trendy, upscale tavern atmosphere. Kingsdale Shopping Center has an Aldi and Market District Supermarket for grocery essentials. “You’re also within 3 miles of Clintonville, which has a nice mix of local restaurants,” Hamrick says.

Public parks and scenic gardens
Named for the radio station that calls it home, the 15-acre Sunny 95 Park bustles with activity on its basketball and tennis courts, roller hockey rink and walking trails. Northam Park has 22 acres of tennis courts, baseball diamonds and playgrounds. One of the country’s largest rose gardens, the Columbus Park of Roses, sits on the other side of Route 315, with over 12,000 flowers planted on the grounds.

Easy access to the Riverside Hospital
The neighborhood is adjacent to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, which is off West North Broadway. Few sidewalks means there isn’t much walkability, but there are several Columbus Transit Authority bus stops for those who use public transit. Locals can hop on Route 315—also known as the Olentangy Freeway—to reach downtown Columbus, about 8 miles south. They can also take the freeway to join thousands of other screaming Buckeye fans at Ohio Stadium, roughly 3 miles away.

Local art at the Labor Day Arts Festival
Sunny 95 Park is the home of Upper Arlington’s annual Spring Fling Festival and Music in the Parks concert series, two of the area’s most-attended events. Northam Park is the site of the Labor Day Arts Festival, which features local artists, live music and a caravan of food trucks.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
