Up-and-coming suburban arts community close to central Columbus
Creative murals and a contemporary spirit can be found in Milo-Grogan, a suburban community just northeast of downtown Columbus. “It’s all about trying to sustain the values of who’s already here while making it more relevant to newcomers,” says Julia Barrett, president of Milo Arts. In addition to coordinating events at the organization's campus, Barrett is a mixed-media artist with a studio in the space. The area gets its name from two smaller communities, Milo and Grogan, that were annexed into the city limits in 1910. Like most of Columbus’ central neighborhoods, Milo-Grogan was a hub for industrial facilities and workers during the early 20th century before the city’s suburban growth led to a downturn in the area. Starting with the establishment of the Milo Arts District campus in 1988, residents of the Milo-Grogan area have rallied around a small but passionate arts scene, echoing the transformation of Columbus’ Short North Arts District. Milo-Grogan’s growing art culture and its proximity to Columbus hot spots have renewed interest from developers.
Highway 71 and 670 in Columbus run alongside the Milo-Gorgan neighborhood.

Local beers and recognizable casual spots
Close to the rail tracks splitting Milo-Grogan from Italian Village, Ohio Brewing Company serves pub fare and craft beers on tap in a converted cardboard warehouse. Most of the neighborhood’s fast food options lie near 5th Avenue, with local options like Royal Fish Shrimp & Chicken and Wang’s Chinese Kitchen next to outposts for major brands such as Wendy’s, White Castle and Church’s Texas Chicken. Residents can also make pickup and delivery orders from a variety of kitchens in the Columbus Food Hall on Essex Road, with soul food, vegan fare, dessert and more available from more than 30 vendors. The nearest grocery store is the Kroger in the Weinland Park area, 1 mile northwest of the neighborhood. More dining and shopping options are available in the Short North and Italian Village areas, also to the west.
Columbus Brewing resides just outside Milo-Grogan and offers delicious craft beer and eats.

A growing live music and arts scene
"A few years ago, nobody knew what Milo Arts was, even though it was doing really cool things," Barrett says. The organization leads the neighborhood’s emerging arts scene from the former Milo Elementary School building. Reflecting the area’s old-meets-new energy, the late 19th-century building now contains a live-work community of artists. Milo Arts hosts exhibits and outdoor installations at the nearby 934 Gallery, and live music and comedy nights happen at The Dallas at Milo. Locals can also attend MADurdays, a monthly gathering with music, studio openings and art showcases on every third Saturday of the month. 934 Gallery’s annual arts and music festival, 934 Fest, happens at the beginning of September. Local musicians, vendors from across Columbus and food trucks converge on the block surrounding the Milo Arts campus.
Some residents within the Milo-Grogan community are involved in the local music seen.

Craftsman homes from the past and present
Homes from the early 20th century sit alongside contemporary residences in Milo-Grogan. Early American foursquare and Arts & Crafts-styled homes define the community’s identity, and newly built homes in the area follow that lead with some new traditional touches. Rowhouses and small bungalows also fill out the narrow tree-lined streets. Developers have also turned to blighted and vacant homes nearby to provide affordable housing options. Prices range from the $180,000s for move-in ready homes up to about $500,000 for newly built premium homes.
Milo-Grogan is a up-and-coming, offering more affordable housing options.

Steps toward a brighter future
From the early to mid-20th century, the Milo-Grogan area was affected by redlining practices from banks and lenders. The construction of Interstate 71 in the 1960s, which removed more than 400 homes from the area, also had a major impact on the local culture. The neighborhood’s proximity to I-71 and I-670, multiple major rail lines and the airport may result in higher noise levels from nearby ground and air traffic. Today, efforts from both local organizations like Milo Arts and the city of Columbus have been key to stimulating the area’s progress, and mixed-use developments coming to the northeast end are poised to add more housing, retail and dining options. “Milo’s a wonderful place, and it’s worth protecting,” Barrett says.
The murals in Milo-Grogan changes over time with new community artists coming in yearly.
