Family-oriented and close to downtown

Just east of suburban Columbus' Clintonville, the Maize-Morse is seeing an influx of new faces . "We've got lots of younger families moving in," says Dawn Casteel, former Maize-Morse Neighborhood Association vice president. "It's a good, safe neighborhood for raising kids." Well-established homes along foliage-draped streets combine with nearby shopping and dining, schools within walking distance and direct interstate access to downtown Columbus. "The neighborhood is convenient to everything," says Brian Bainbridge, a Realtor with CRT Realtors. "It's just off Interstate 71, and there's just about every retail store you can think of on Morse Road."

Midcentury homes with below-city-average prices

With an average construction date of 1959, midcentury-style homes are common, with split-levels and ranch-style houses making up the majority. Oak trees and manicured shrubberies dot quarter-acre lots with some sidewalks running through parts of the neighborhood. Prices begin in the low $200,000s and max out in the low $400,000s, varying based on square footage, interior upgrades and amenities like finished basements or covered patios. On average, prices fall in the low $300,000s, lower than the Columbus average, which tends toward the high $300,000s. "The affordability of this neighborhood is a big attraction," Bainbridge says. "This neighborhood provides the perfect opportunity for a first-time homebuyer."

Brunch at George's Beechwold Diner

George's Beechwold Diner is a family-owned restaurant with open seating and a greasy-spoon atmosphere. Breakfast is always on the menu, but locals say you don't expect dinner because the doors close at 3 p.m. Namaste opened in 2013 and serves Indian and Nepali cuisine in what the owners call a "casual fine dining" atmosphere. Morse Road has a collection of shopping and retail options, including Save A Lot, Rose's Discount and the International Mall.

One of the country's biggest rose gardens

"There aren't many parks in the area," says Casteel. "So everyone in the neighborhood tends to go to Whetstone." At 149 acres, Whetstone Park is one of Columbus's most extensive public parks. Soccer fields and baseball diamonds stay busy during youth league seasons, and anglers fish the fully-stocked ponds. The Olentangy Trail follows its namesake river for 14 miles, taking hikers as far south as downtown Columbus. With thousands of roses and other plants, the Columbus Park of Roses is one of the country's largest rose gardens and attracts many for its regular live performances and events.

Easy access to public transit

Running along the neighborhood's western edge, I-71 provides a straightforward route to downtown Columbus and the university. Maize Road borders the neighborhood's eastern side and is home to several houses of worship. Throughout the neighborhood, sidewalks are uncommon, making for low walkability, but pedestrians can take advantage of the Central Ohio Transit Authority, which has bus stops on Morse and Maize roads. OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital is about 15 miles to the west and John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 12 miles to the southeast.

New flavors at Taste of Clintonville

The Summer Concert Series in the Park of Roses has free concerts and performances every Sunday in the summer. Neighboring Clintonville holds the Taste of Clintonville every fall, showing off its many styles of food with samples from local restaurants.
