Possible growth in east Columbus
Just off Interstate 70 on the east side of Columbus, Linwood has a reputation for reasonably priced midcentury homes. "Linwood is one of the more affordable neighborhoods in the Columbus area," says Remington Lyman, a Realtor with Reafco. "The location is ideal with a 10-minute drive to downtown Columbus." The neighborhood cropped up in the 1950s and '60s—when eastern suburbs began to thrive. Due to their age, many homes need renovation, which seems to be another part of the changing landscape as businesses return to the area. "That east side section is seeing a lot of redevelopment," says Jessica Walters, a Realtor with Ritchie Realty Group.
Linwood is a neighborhood situated 5 miles east from Downtown Columbus.
Ranch style homes are common in the Linwood neighborhood.

Midcentury fixer-uppers
Long stretches of winding streets pass Cape Cods, split-levels and ranch-style houses on eighth-acre lots. Mature trees shade worn sidewalks that connect the residential sections of the neighborhood from one end to the other. Driveways are common, along with attached garages and carports. Prices range from the low $100,000s for houses needing renovation to the low $300,000s for recently remodeled houses. "With the age of the homes, some have been renovated, and some need it. It's a popular place for investors to refurbish property," Lyman says.
Two story homes are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood of Linwood.
