Calm suburban community near major interstate
With leafy cul-de-sacs and calm streets, Northgate offers suburban living on the outskirts of north Columbus. “While it’s situated within the Interstate 270 Outerbelt, Northgate is still a subdued and laid-back neighborhood that’s mostly residential, so there won’t be a ton of action there,” says Thomas Hamrick, who is a lifelong resident of Columbus and a Realtor with Keller Williams Consultants. “It’s convenient to major highways, but the neighborhood also has nice, quiet community parks and several schools within walking distance.”
A gorgeous two story located in the Northgate neighborhood.
Take a stroll through the area and you’ll find ranchers, split-level and two-story homes with attached garages in a maze of curvy, tree-lined streets.

Two great looking split levels in the Northgate neighborhood.
Split-levels and ranch homes along curvy, tree-lined streets
Northgate features a multitude of houses built in the 1960s and ‘70s. “The houses have a lot of character and provide a good quality of life for anybody, including families,” says Andrew Balalovski, a principal broker with Balalovski Real Estate. A stroll through the curvy, tree-lined streets reveals ranch and split-level homes with attached garages. The houses sit on spacious lots reaching nearly a quarter-acre. Many of the backyards are fenced in, creating a sense of seclusion, and have features like sheds, trampolines, and small play spaces for kids. “They’re typically selling for $300,000 to $350,000, and prices have climbed to that point in the last year or two,” says Hamrick. There are a few condos in shotgun-style structures throughout the neighborhood, but Hamrick says those are few and far between. The multifamily homes are priced between $210,000 and $250,000.
Restaurants specializing in international cuisine
Despite its suburban nature, Northgate is highly connected to shopping and dining destinations due to its location near I-270. Polaris Towne Center is less than 5 miles north of the neighborhood and is home to more than 100 shops, including Target, Macy’s, J.Crew Factory and IKEA. The sprawling center is also home to Topgolf, Star Lanes bowling alley, several fitness centers and a movie theater. A flurry of commercial activity can also be found along Cleveland Avenue and East Dublin Granville Road, with several casual dining spots and restaurants specializing in international cuisine. Tasty Tacos is an authentic, family-owned eatery serving up traditional Mexican fare. Gyros, shish kabobs and lemon chicken soup are standout dishes at Yanni Greek, where the walls are lined with murals of the scenic seaside country.

Community pocket parks within walking distance
