The Gables
Suburban Neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio
Franklin County 43220, 43235
Condos and Neo-Colonials
Homes in the Gables were built in the 1970s and '80s, with a variety of styles lining the streets. Neo-colonial and contemporary Craftsmen designs share blocks with midcentury-inspired ranch styles and split levels. Details like exposed beams, wood siding and brick exteriors accent these houses, giving the neighborhood a diverse look. Lots generally start at a quarter acre, with tree-filled backyards and neatly trimmed lawns. Prices range from the high $200,000s to the low $400,000s.Just 25 percent of the area's homes are single-family, and condos are common. These are priced between the low $100,000s for 1,000 square feet and the low $300,000s for larger units with attached garages. "Those condos are quick sales," says Yin. "The moment they go up for sale, they're gone."
Future site of West Case Park
Two blocks south of Bethel Road, Northcrest Park has basketball and tennis courts on its 18-acre green space. With four baseball diamonds and over a mile of trails, the 49-acre Thompson Park hosts Upper Arlington's annual Summer Celebration. Locals can connect onto the Olentangy Greenway Trail for river views and a winding path that leads all the way downtown.Directly to the neighborhood's west is the future site of the 58-acre West Case Park. Formerly a sheep farm for Ohio State's Agricultural Department, designs for the new park are based on community wants and recommendations. A Vision Plan for the park was recently released, with plans for a central multi-purpose field, a library and preserved wetlands. West Case Park will open in 2026.
Award-winning global cuisine
A new community of Asian-American-owned businesses and restaurants has grown along Bethel Road on the neighborhood's southern border. Meshikou Ramen, one of Eater Magazine's 28 Essential Columbus Restaurants, is in the southeastern corner of the community—well within walking distance for many. The Refectory offers a AAA Four Diamond Award-winning fine dining experience just a few blocks east. There is a Kroger in the center of The Gables, and the retail options at Carriage Place Plaza are a mile west.Served by two school districts
Two different school districts split The Gables down the middle, with Dublin City Schools serving its west side and Columbus City Schools covering its east. Dublin students begin at Wright Elementary before attending Davis Middle School. Finally, they'll enroll at Dublin Scioto High School, which rates in the top 20 college prep public high schools in Ohio on Niche. Niche gives all three scores an A-minus.Columbus students attend Gables Elementary, which has a C, before going to Ridgeview Middle School, which has a C-minus. Finally, students on the east side enroll at B-rated Centennial High School, which reliably receives the highest rating possible from the Ohio Department of Education every year. Older students can apply to Ohio State University, which ranks in the top 20 public universities in the country.

Close to downtown and OSU
The neighborhood is about seven miles northwest of Ohio State University and Ohio Stadium and 11 miles from downtown Columbus. Though situated just beneath the Ohio State University Airport, most travelers from The Gables will use John Glenn Columbus International Airport, 15 miles southeast. The OhioHealth Riverside Hospital is less than five miles southeast. "When people come here, it's usually for the location," says Yin. "You can connect to just about any of the biggest thoroughfares—you're not far from anything."The neighborhood is connected by sidewalks that make the area reasonably walkable, even to the nearby Crown Point shopping center. Public transit is available through the Central Ohio Transit Authority, which has a bus line all over Franklin County.
