King-Lincoln Bronzeville honors its rich history and arts scene
King-Lincoln Bronzeville is a historic neighborhood in Columbus ’ Near East area with a vibrant arts scene dating back to the early 1900s. It gets its name from the Lincoln Theatre and King Arts Complex, which are at the heart of the art and jazz scene over a century later. The community is dedicated to preserving its history, from the educational mural along Long Street Bridge to revitalization efforts from the Columbus Urban League. Living here means more than living a mile from downtown; it means being part of a community working hard to keep its culture alive.
The Lincoln Theatre and King Arts Complex host concerts and workshops
The neighborhood’s roots are reflected in every aspect of the community, most importantly in the arts. The landmark Lincoln Theatre hosted famous jazz musicians like Sammy Davis Jr. and Etta James before closing in the early 1970s. It reopened over 30 years later, in 2009, and now has artist workshops, dance classes and summer camps in addition to its live performances. Just down the road, the King Arts Complex uses performing and visual arts to preserve, educate and expand the cultural footprint of African Americans in Ohio. “You have African dance, you have plays... There’s so much there,” says Realtor and lifelong Columbus resident Janene Parham with Red 1 Realty. The center also puts on the annual Heritage Music Festival, a free summer concert series on Thursday nights in Mayme Moore Park. You can enjoy a night of jazz, R&B and blues while grabbing a bite from the food court or exploring local vendors.
Older homes cost less than other Near East neighborhoods
Many houses date back to the late 1800s. “The older homes are absolutely gorgeous,” Parham says. American Foursquares, National Folk styles and other Victorian-era houses are common. Newer apartments, condos and single-family homes from the 2010s and 2020s are scattered throughout the neighborhood. “People started coming back to the area, building brownstones and condos and refurbishing the old homes that are out there,” Parham says.
Nearly 75% of the residents rent, but there is plenty of opportunity to own. While the median single-family home price is on par with the rest of Columbus, it is less expensive than in Olde Towne East and Franklin Park. Single-family and multifamily prices typically range from the mid-$200,000s to the high $500,000s, depending on size and condition, but you can find investment properties for less than $200,000. Condos can cost between the mid-$200,000s and the mid-$300,000s.
Older homes from the early 1900s are common throughout the neighborhood.
Older architectural styles include Foursquares.
Many homes have wide front porches.

A walkable community near Interstate 71 and bus routes
With sidewalks lining most residential streets, Parham says, “A lot of residents can walk to the parks and some restaurants in the neighborhood.” However, she says locals drive or take the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) buses to get anywhere else. “The bus is very important in the neighborhood,” she says. Downtown is a five-minute drive or a 10-minute bus ride, and the proximity to interstates 71 and 670 makes it easy to get around the rest of the city.
The Ohio Statehouse is in the nearby Uptown District, part of downtown Columbus.
Downtown Columbus' skyline is seen over the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood.
