A little taste of everything in Devonshire

The winding streets of Devonshire are popular among those looking for proximity to both Downtown Columbus and its suburban woodlands. Midcentury homes with old-growth trees and maintained gardens are situated near major shopping hubs, thoroughfares and parks, not far from some of the suburbs’ most prominent summer festivals. Thankfully, college football games and day trips to the museum are just a few miles south, allowing residents access to all the benefits of the city without the added clamor.

Lush residential loops

Canopied with leafy trees, the residential streets of Devonshire are nothing if not comfortably verdant. Landscaped yards with small gardens and the occasional garden lamppost complement the neighborhood’s remodeled ranch-style homes and split-levels, initially constructed in the 1960s. Several blocks of townhome developments rest at the district’s north end and are an affordable way to go if you want to live in northern Columbus, says Chelynne Shott, a local Realtor with e-Merge Real Estate. “It’s very central; everything is close by.” Ranging in price between $200,000 and $300,000, Devonshire’s established homes often include single-car garages with well-maintained sidewalks for residents and pet owners. Lush residential loops allow street parking for additional vehicles and guests.

Fishing in the summer, sledding in the winter

The neighborhood's titular park is situated in the heart of Devonshire—a 6-acre green space with a playground and plenty of field space for dog walkers and runners. Sharon Woods is a massive woodland park just north of the neighborhood. Oak, hickory and beech trees tower over the 11-acre lake, surrounded by paved and unpaved walking, hiking and biking trails. Visitors are welcome to fish in the summer and sled in the winter, as the woods are open throughout the year. Located off Busch Boulevard, Vertical Adventures is ideal for those experimenting with indoor fitness. The rock-climbing gym, offering 16,000 square feet of terrain, is well suited for beginners and experts.

11 miles from the Arena District and Scioto Mile

Bordered to the west by Interstate 71, Devonshire is only about 11 miles from Downtown Columbus's major attractions, including the Arena District and Scioto Mile. Commuters can rely on Columbus’ COTA bus system, which offers rush hour stops along I-71 and I-270 to the north and frequent stops along Karl Road. Both interstates additionally take locals 14 miles south to John Glenn Columbus International Airport, with I-270 wrapping around the greater Columbus region. The Anheuser-Busch Columbus brewery is a major employment center and manufacturing facility less than 2 miles down the road.

Upscale shops and old-fashioned diners

Locals looking for a nearby shopping excursion can travel 4 miles west to The Shops at Worthington Place, an upscale mall anchored by Kroger. Easton Town Center is just 2 miles farther and serves as the largest shopping hub outside of the city. The sprawling plaza features more than 200 retail, dining and entertainment options—including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market and Costco Wholesale—and its pedestrian-friendly grid pattern with parks, fountains and metered storefront parking makes it easy to access the attached movie theater and comedy club. Closer to home, Fitzy’s Old Fashioned Diner serves breakfast plates with a 50s-themed ambiance, while Zaftig Brewery offers a wide selection of ales and a rotating lineup of food trucks.
