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.
Community pocket parks within walking distance
Just a quick walk from the majority of homes in Northgate, its namesake park earns daily visits from many residents. A small creek winds through the five-acre community green space where locals can play a game of pickup on the basketball courts, take a quick walk along paved pathways or take their kids to run around the playground. Beechcroft Park sits at the neighborhood's southern end and also features a walking loop and playground. On the other side of I-270, Sharon Woods is a sprawling outdoor oasis with massive oak, hickory and beech trees surrounding walking trails. The peaceful woodlands are full of wildlife and have a lake at their center where locals can cast their line to catch fish.
Northgate Park has walking paths throughout the community.
Northgate Park is located within the Northgate community.
