Residents enjoy morning strolls to nearby cafés like Roosevelt Coffeehouse and the popular Brioso Roastery, both of which sit along East Long Street. Less than a block away sits The Hills Market, a “trendy market where fresh groceries and natural goods can be picked up,” explains Megan McClung, a real estate agent with Core Realty Connection and resident of downtown Columbus. Residents travel to Lennox Town Center for retail needs, located off North 4th Street, a 5-mile drive north.
