Many ways of life in a single Columbus neighborhood
Situated 10 miles north of downtown Columbus, Salem Village offers a reprieve from the fast pace of city life. With urban housing styles in the east and spacious properties along Poste Lake in the west, the neighborhood allows residents to decide between a taste of residential city life and suburban tranquility. “It’s so close to Clintonville, and that has become so expensive recently,” says Brent Merriman of Keller Williams Classic Properties, an agent specializing in northern Columbus. “Salem Village is right on that border, but it is one of the more affordable areas.” Close to well-loved parks and easily accessible from the city's heart, Salem Village appeals to those seeking a conveniently located home with a bit of history.

Residential streets branching off Sinclair Road
Sidewalks line the thoroughfares in Salem Village and connect to the occasional side street, and a layer of mature trees shields properties surrounding Poste Lake. With single-family homes comprising less than 20% of the neighborhood, Salem Village maintains an urban feel with apartments and industrial buildings between houses along Sinclair Road. Most homes were constructed from the mid-1950s to early 1970s, and because of its long-established nature, the community doesn’t have vacant lots for new construction. Split-level and ranch-style houses typically range from 900 square feet to over 1,400 square feet, and prices fall below the average for Columbus. Three-bedroom homes start at around $200,000, and four-bedroom homes reach around $300,000.
Ranch homes with well kept lawns are common in Salem Village.
Ranch and split level homes make up the residential neighborhoods of Salem Village.

A staple pizza joint and easy access to Clintonville
Though there aren’t many restaurants in the neighborhood, The Pizza House is one option that’s been serving Columbus-style pizza to the Salem Village community since 1961. Bordered by Woodward Park, the neighborhood also benefits from easy access to such spots as Ranchero Kitchen and Lawshea’s. By driving a few miles west on Morse Road, residents can pick up groceries at Kroger in Clintonville, but Polaris Fashion Place and Polaris Towne Center are about 5 miles north, expanding shopping opportunities to national retailers.

From private lake access to public green spaces near I-71
Though a gaze at the map might make Poste Lake seem like a neighborhood amenity, only homeowners with private shore and dock access can boat across the glassy water or cast a fishing line. Chaseland Park, however, is a public space in Salem Village with a playground and open fields. “Even people who live near there aren’t aware of it,” Merriman says. “The reason I do is I bought and renovated a house that backed up to that park, and I thought it was so cool to have access to it.” The walking paths and tennis courts at Woodward Park are also about 3 miles away, expanding opportunities to get outside. During the winter, Skate Zone 71 draws in locals looking for a place to stay warm — but the facility is open year-round. As the name suggests, the roller rink borders Interstate 71 and hosts events like themed skates and arcade nights.
Poste Lake is a local hotspot in Salem Village.
