Living in Tri‑Village near Ohio State and downtown Columbus

Tri-Village is an option for those who want to be near The Ohio State University without living right in the middle of campus. This connected, urban pocket is just west of OSU, right across the Olentangy River, offering walkable shopping, dining and transit as well as quick freeway access. Between the community's convenient Columbus location and limited inventory, multifamily and single-family homes here draw interest relatively quickly. Apartment buildings and student housing can be found throughout.

What homes cost and feel like in the University View subdivision

Single-family homes in Tri-Village are mostly clustered on the eastern side, in a midcentury subdivision called University View. Realtor Sandra Binning with Coldwell Banker says this part of the community “feels like a small town inside of a big city,” explaining that it has a couple of small parks where neighbors can get to know each other. There aren’t sidewalks on this end, but because there's not much through traffic, roads generally tend to be less busy. “It’d be unusual not to end up waving at somebody when you’re out walking your dog,” Binning says.

Houses in University View, from Minimal Traditional cottages to Cape Cods, sit on modest lots, most with driveways. Recent sales have ranged from the low $300,000s to the low $400,000s.

Public school options and school choice for local families

The district offers school choice, including intradistrict transfers, some interdistrict open enrollment and magnet programs accessed through a centralized lottery, depending on space and district policy. Metro Early College High School, a STEM-focused public magnet school located just north of the neighborhood near Ohio State, is another option for area families.

Neighborhood retail plus easy access to arts and sports

Lennox Town Center is near the eastern edge of the neighborhood, past the railroad tracks. It has big-box retail with Target, Marshalls and World Market, along with a movie theater and some chain restaurants. Kroger is near the heart of the neighborhood, on the corner of Northwest Boulevard and Chambers Road. King Avenue, on the south side, has a couple of spots for good eats, including Cilantro Latin Bistro, serving traditional and vegan fare. It’s about a block over from Natalie’s Grandview, an intimate, two-stage venue for live entertainment that pairs local and national acts alike with a wood-fired kitchen menu.

Farther outside the neighborhood, but still within a short drive, many of central Columbus's hubs are easily within reach. “You're also probably within 10 or 15 minutes of the Blue Jackets downtown, Ohio State, Crew Stadium — all the sports,” Binning says. “Arts and entertainment, too. The Discovery District, the Scioto Mile — it’s all very close.”
