Devon Triangle's industrial roots shape older homes

Just outside downtown Columbus, Devon Triangle is best known for its industrial roots, with factories and an active freight-rail system. Most homes were built for local workers, and many are 100 years old or more. Because of that, home prices here are usually much lower than in nearby neighborhoods. Groundbreaking for a new development began in 2026, which many hope will help spark a revival in the area.

Century-old homes, newer builds and wide-ranging prices

The majority of homes in the area were built during the turn of the 20th century and midcentury eras, with Traditional, Craftsman and ranch-style homes being the most common. However, years of city and statewide initiatives like the Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program have led to the development of new houses that replicate the area’s historic style. So potential homeowners are likely to see a 2005 build next to something similar that dates back to 1900. Because many of those older homes haven’t been renovated, prices can vary, generally running between about $80,000 and the low $200,000s. The median price for a single-family home in Devon Triangle is in the low $100,000s, making it generally less expensive than its neighbors, including Woodland Park, Amercrest and Mount Vernon. In 2026, Habitat for Humanity broke ground on a new multi-family housing development, hoping to bring more affordable housing to the area.

What to know about school options and nearby colleges

Devon Triangle is zoned for Columbus City Schools, one of the largest school districts in the state. Through its School Choice Lottery, Columbus City Schools lets families rank magnet and alternative schools they’re interested in, with placements based on available seats rather than first-come, first-served. Open-enrollment transfers into or out of the district are allowed under Ohio law but depend on space and district approval. The main campus of Columbus State Community College is about 2 miles away in the Discovery District, while The Ohio State University’s flagship campus is about 3 miles away.

Commuters have easy access to job hubs and transit options

In addition to several industrial hubs on its south side, Devon Triangle is well-positioned for other job hubs, with downtown Columbus about 4 miles away and Easton less than 10 miles away. Access to interstates 670 and 71 helps open up the rest of the city to commuters. Leonard and North Champion avenues are dotted with bus stops for the Central Ohio Transit Authority.

Nearby parks and trails offer outdoor options

The Columbus area has over 450 public parks, and Devon Triangle’s location puts it within a mile or two of several of them. Options range from playgrounds to hiking trails:

  • Franklin Park and the surrounding park grounds offer paved walking paths, open lawns, tree-lined green space, seasonal gardens and easy access to the Franklin Park Conservatory.
  • Driving Park has open green space, playground areas and sports courts alongside the Driving Park Recreation Center, which offers indoor fitness space, organized athletic programs and community activities.
  • The Alum Creek Trail provides a paved, multi-use path for walking, running and biking that follows the creek through central Columbus.
  • Wolfe Park is a small neighborhood park with playground equipment, open grassy areas and direct proximity to the Alum Creek corridor.

Residents can dine locally, but everyday shopping requires a drive

Shopping in the area is scarce, with a Kroger in Franklin Park, roughly 3 miles away. Boutique shopping and locally owned businesses hover around downtown Columbus neighborhoods like German Village and along North High Street, but locals will need to head about 10 miles out to Easton for more familiar options like Walmart, Target and Macy’s. However, there are dining options that don’t require such a long drive. Near the east side of the neighborhood is Dos Hermanos, a local chain with casual Mexican eats. On the other side of the community is Royal Fish & Chicken, which supplements its fried seafood platters with pizza, gyros and wings.
