Stretched along Alum Creek and its waterfront trail, Bridgeview offers parkland and a suburban feel in Northeast Columbus. Buyers are often drawn to its lower entry point compared with much of the city. Residents are a short drive from John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Interstate 670 and Easton Town Center, one of the city's two major shopping malls.
Bridgeview is home to a mix of apartment complexes and a few single-family subdivisions, spread out along a major greenway that runs through the neighborhood’s heart. Renting is more common than owning here, with limited inventory on the for-sale side. When houses do sell, prices generally run from the low $100,000s to the mid-$400,000s, depending on age, condition and other factors. This is a comparable range to nearby neighborhoods like Brittany Hills and Framingham, though it generally trends lower than Cumberland Ridge and Somerset. “For Columbus, Bridgeview is on the more affordable side of things,” says local Realtor Thomas Hamrick with Keller Williams Consultants Realty.
West of Alum Creek, midcentury cottages and bungalows sit on compact lots backing up to dense woods. They’re near a neighborhood elementary school, along HOA-free streets like Dawnlight and Minnesota Avenues.
A cluster of custom homes, primarily built in the late 20th century, can be found on the other side of the creek, closer to the local middle school. These are among the priciest homes in Bridgeview, with large lots, some between a half and a full acre, and very limited turnover.
Down Sunbury Road, Village at Stone Cliff has New Traditional homes from the early 2000s on modest, landscaped lots. A mandatory HOA typically covers lawn care and snow removal.
Access to the Alum Creek Trail is at the corner of Sunbury Road and Sunbury Ridge Drive, near a COTA bus stop. “There are several major waterways here, and Alum Creek is one of them,” Hamrick says. “The Alum Creek Trail is one of the main trails that goes through Columbus …You could take it down to Bexley or to Three Creeks Metro Park, or up to Westerville.” Stretching roughly 25 miles, the greenway supports longer routes for biking, walking or running, with connections to nearby parks and trails, including:
Bridgeview is part of Columbus City Schools. Two elementary schools – Cassady and East Linden – serve the community, along with Mifflin Middle School and Mifflin High School. Families can explore magnet or alternative programs, apply through a districtwide lottery to attend a different school or use open enrollment to cross district lines. Admission generally depends on available space.
Despite having trail access, most residents drive to get around greater Columbus. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is less than 5 miles away, roughly a 10-minute drive via city streets. To get downtown, which is under 10 miles away, drivers can hop on I-670 for a commute that usually takes about 15 to 25 minutes during weekday morning rushes.
Easton Town Center is one of two major shopping malls in Columbus, and Bridgeview residents are within a 10- to 15-minute drive, depending on traffic. On errand runs, you can hit up multiple grocery and big-box stores, from Trader Joe’s to Costco. “Easton has everything,” Hamrick says, describing the indoor-outdoor mall’s layout. “It has any place you’d want to go shopping, your luxury brands – Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton – and your more casual brands – Express, L.L. Bean, Abercrombie & Fitch. In addition to shopping, there are plenty of places to eat.” Dining options include:
