Harrison West is a blend of urban nightlife and green spaces
With waterfront parks, forested trails and historic homes near the city’s downtown core, Harrison West offers an urban setting with access to both green spaces and Columbus nightlife. Bordering the Olentangy River to the west and Victorian Village to the east, this is a mostly residential neighborhood with a small business district with restaurants, breweries and shops. It’s just a short drive from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the Columbus business district.
Historic colonial and Victorian homes are available
In 1975, Harrison West was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The community has a variety of colonial and Victorian homes built around the turn of the century, often bordered by neat boxwood hedges and in the shade of tall elms. Architectural styles such as Richardsonian Romanesque and the American four square can be found, along with new constructions of more modern-looking homes and riverfront condos. At the low end of the price range, three-bedroom prewar colonials needing a little love are listed for under $350,000. At the top end, three-bedroom condos in new industrial-style mixed-use developments on the river are listed for under $1 million.
Whetstone High School is known for its college prep
Hubbard Elementary School received a C-minus on the school rankings website Niche but earned a B-minus for its teacher performance. Dominion Middle School received a C. Whetstone High School earned a C-plus overall with a B for its college preparatory program. The New Skills Ready Network Initiative is a college readiness program offered to students in partnership with local colleges and funded by a recent $7 million grant from JPMorgan Chase. Private schools, such as St. Joseph Montessori School, serving kindergarten through eighth-grade students, are nearby.
Public parks include kayak launches and a 12-mile trail
Harrison Park is the largest in the neighborhood at 5 acres. It has a playground, kayak launch and public art and sculptures created by the Columbus College of Art and Design students. The park also has an entryway to the Olentangy Greenway Trail. This 9-mile path meanders through the Ohio State University campus and connects with the Scioto Greenway, over 12 miles of multi-use trails crossing much of the city. The Olentangy section of the trail travels south along the downtown riverfront to intersect with other sections of the path leading east and west, offering Harrison West commuters the option of biking to work. Side by Side Park Floral Garden is a riverfront mini park nearby.
3rd Avenue has options for food, art and live entertainment
The main drag of 3rd Avenue is a walkable strip with trees planted on the edges of wide sidewalks. Head east, and you’ll find yourself in the Short North Arts District, a lively area with art galleries, restaurants, bars, live music and shopping. Pedestrians walking this way will come upon one of Eater Magazine’s 28 Essential Columbus Restaurants. Housed in a century-old gas station, Katalina’s is famous citywide for its Pancake Balls and other breakfast concoctions. Past that is High Street, along which operate three of Eater’s 12 Hottest New Restaurants in Columbus, Ohio. One of these, Service Bar, serves craft cocktails and bougie bar food over an oak bar from the 19th century. High Street leads north to a Kroger and south to the North Market Downtown farmers market.
Hospitals are within a mile of residents
With all of this and Ohio State University and Select Specialty Hospital – Columbus within a mile, it’s hard to see what Harrison West residents might need to leave for. But when they do, they’ll be well-served by their proximity to Ohio State Route 315, known locally as the Olentangy Freeway, which connects to the Interstate 270 beltway encircling the city.
