North Linden is one of Columbus’s fastest-growing neighborhoods

Community organizations and private investors are improving homes
Organizations like Habitat for Humanity - MidOhio and the community-led One Linden have helped renovate many of the homes from the early to mid-1900s. Craftsman styles, Dutch Colonials and ranch-style homes make up many of these older properties, and there are some newly constructed cottages. Prices for a single-family home can range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $400,000s, depending on size and condition. “Home values are increasing in that area, but prices are still in the affordable range,” says Lee Hart, Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.
Even with the many renovations done across North Linden, you can find some homes that need a lot of work. “If I had the chance to invest in any neighborhood right now, I’d go with this one,” says Byron Diaz, Realtor with Nexthome Experience.

Major roads and a rapid transit line lead downtown
The neighborhood is well-connected with major roads like Interstate 71 and Cleveland Avenue. Downtown Columbus is about a 10-minute drive. “The proximity to Clintonville is also a big draw,” Diaz says. “In fact, I’ve heard a few people refer to North Linden as East Clintonville.” CMAX is the first rapid transit line from the Central Ohio Transit Authority. One Linden has also been working on improving the walkability of the area by adding new sidewalks and streetlights along some of the main thoroughfares.
Locals find recreation and resources at the Linden Community Center
The work done to improve North Linden extends to its parks and recreation, with a new community center and green space. Options include:
Linden Community Center, which has amenities like a gym, kitchen and on-site partners who offer social services and programs for all ages.
Linden Park, next to the community center, includes multipurpose fields, a fishing pond and a sprayground.
Audubon Park, one of the many pocket parks throughout the neighborhood.
There is one more project in the works. The Linden Green Line is a proposed green space that will span 58 acres, replacing an abandoned rail corridor. It will be a walkable and bikeable area that connects to schools, parks, community centers, and over 130 miles of trails. It is still in its early phases but is expected to be completed in 2029.

I personally haven't had any issues. My boyfriend's little brother has been jumped a couple times, and my boyfriend has had a gun pulled on him and almost got robbed walking down the street. But on campus isn't quite as bad add where I am, I'm close to campus but about 10 minutes away, so campus sees people from my hood a lot.

There are gas stations, restaurants, Kroger's and simple places like that around. I only rated it as okay because the area is missing big things such as a mall, though it is like one 15 minutes away. It does not have Wal-Mart, Target or Meijer within a 5 mile radius I would say or if so Target is just inside that 5 mile radius.
