Livingston Park offers charm, value and central access
Just a couple miles southeast of downtown Columbus and south of the intersection of Interstates 70 and 71 is the historic Livingston Park neighborhood. “It’s the best of everything,” says Miles Hartley, a Realtor with Delicious Real Estate Group. “You’re as central as you can get in the city, you still get affordable housing, and, at the same time, you get the charm you don’t necessarily get in the suburbs.”

Historic homes feature Foursquare and Craftsman styles
You’ll immediately notice that charm with homes as much as 120 years old that line the streets here. “The home stock in Livingston Park is not as grand as the neighborhood just to the north in Olde Towne East,” Hartley says. “For a home that’s in the same era, the price range of the homes is between $225,000 and $550,000.” For about 15 years, Livingston Park was in a tax abatement area from the City of Columbus. “That allowed the property taxes to freeze, so people are paying the tax value on the pre-flipped house,” he says. That’s because the city had targeted this neighborhood as part of a community reinvestment area. The most notable architectural style in the area is Foursquare, with some Colonial Revival and Craftsman. While most homes are between 1500 and 2000 square feet, a few can have up to 2500 square feet of space with a large front porch.
Many homes in Livingston Park have well-manicured front yards.

Public transit includes COTA bus stops along Livingston
Long before the bus became the method of public transportation, there was the trolley system in Columbus. Livingston Avenue in this area was the first to have an electrified trolley in the 1890s, which made it easy to commute to work. “Because of that, this area is known as Columbus’ first suburb,” Hartley says. “Back in the day, you could just hop on a trolley and ride down Livingston.” Today, multiple Central Ohio Transit Authority, or COTA, bus stops are along Livingston.
A top-ranked hospital and historic park share the area
For 10 consecutive years, US News & World Report has ranked Nationwide Children’s Hospital among the best in the country. In the latest rankings, the hospital is ranked sixth. They're ranked in the top five for treating lung and heart disorders and diagnosing and treating kidney failure. “Intertwined in some of these neighborhoods, there’s a lot of short-term hospital staff housing. Instead of an Airbnb, they’ll rent it out to a doctor or nurse,” Hartley says. Next to the hospital is the eight-acre Livingston Park, the oldest park property in Columbus. The original use of the land in 1839 was for a gravesite. It didn’t become a park until 1885. Today, it has a playground, basketball courts, an open-air shelter and picnicking opportunities.
Children's Hospital is an important part of the Livingston Park North neighborhood.
Livingston Park located behind the Children's Hospital is one of the oldest parks in Columbus.
