Dennison Place is walkable, between OSU and the Short North

Right off High Street, Dennison Place connects Columbus's vibrant Short North Arts District to Ohio State University. The renter-friendly neighborhood is a short walk – and an even quicker bike ride – from campus, which means street parking can get tight, but mature tree-lined streets and closely set turn-of-the-20th-century homes give the small community an established feel. Some locals even know the area as “The Circles,” a nickname gleaned from pocket-park roundabouts on the west side.

Historic homes, rentals and parking realities buyers face

Like its neighboring neighborhoods, Victorian Village and Italian Village, Dennison Place is known for its beautiful Victorian, Italianate and Colonial Revival homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Big, boxy American Foursquare buildings are also typical, with many converted into multifamily housing, such as duplexes. Older homes can come with maintenance surprises, but for many buyers, the tradeoff is worthwhile. With the neighborhood being this close to Ohio State, rental demand and investor interest are steady.

“If a property doesn't have off-street parking, it is important to know your options,” says lifelong local Maria Milligan, a Realtor with RE/MAX Premier Choice. “It’s manageable, but definitely something I talk through with buyers upfront.” As for noise considerations, she says, despite the neighborhood being between “some of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, it’s quieter and more residential than people expect.”

Many houses are in Colonial Revival, Italianate and Victorian styles.

Home prices range widely, and well-priced listings move fast

Dennison Place’s median price sits in the mid-$400,000s, which is significantly higher than the Columbus median. Recent sales across condos, single-family homes, and multifamily properties ranging from:

  • The low $200,000s to the low $400,000s for condos
  • The high $400,000s to the low $800,000s for single-family homes
  • The high $400,000s to around $1 million for multifamily buildings
Pricing hinges on factors like age, condition and square footage. “When something is priced right, especially a duplex, it moves quickly,” Milligan says. “Inventory isn’t huge, so buyers tend to act fast.” Compared with nearby neighborhoods, she notes pricing here tends to fall in the middle. “You’ll usually see prices a bit lower than Italian Village, but higher than Weinland Park, as that area continues to grow.”

Getting to campus and downtown from Dennison Place

Dennison Place is within a mile of Ohio State University, and almost 3 miles from Downtown Columbus. High Street and Neil Avenue provide bikeable routes to the city center and campus. COTA buses add public transit, though most residents rely on cars for longer commutes.

Everyday life blends relaxed streets with city dining and shopping

Milligan says day-to-day life in Dennison Place is “a mix of people walking dogs, biking to coffee shops, or heading to campus or downtown.” That residential feel is broken up by a handful of neighborhood favorites, such as:

  • Condado Tacos & Tequila, a taco joint with locally beloved margaritas
  • The Bottle Shop, a neighborhood wine bar with curated pours and small plates
  • Alqueria Farmhouse Kitchen, a New American restaurant serving comfort food and cocktails
  • Mangos, a nightlife hotspot and sports bar with bar bites and hookah
For errand runs, Kroger is right across High Street, and the Grandview Yard Market District, a 100,000-square-foot specialty Giant Eagle store, is just over a mile away.
