An artistic revival in Columbus’ city center
Columbus ’ Uptown District may serve as its city center and the heart of the sleek business district, but many of its buildings date as far back as the mid-1800s. From the Greek-Revival columns of the Ohio Statehouse to the bright red doors of Trinity Episcopal Church, grandiose moments of architectural flair are a common sight to residents of high-rise condos and renovated apartments here. A longtime restaurant hub, the District’s sidewalks fill during lunch breaks and Happy Hour with government employees and residents on their way to local bars and cafes. And a new wave of artistic growth is cementing the district as a social extension of the Columbus Museum of Art and Columbus College of Art & Design several blocks to the east. “They’re bringing a lot of the Arts District into this location,” shares Pat Perkins, a RE/MAX Affiliates associate specializing in Central Ohio luxury properties. “There’s an influx of new art galleries, high-end restaurants, office buildings and other new construction coming in.” Visitors and residents walk beneath "Current," a permanent art installation suspended above North High Street and East Gay Street by Janet Echelman. The woven sculpture speaks to this tide of change in the heart of the city.
"Current" by Janet Echelman, a permanent art exhibit, hangs over N. High St. and E. Gay St.
Urban artwork done by local Columbus artists can be seen throughout the Uptown District.

Top-rated shopping and dining Uptown
The Uptown District is known for having some of Columbus’ best high-end restaurants, as well as more laid-back options. Coworkers out for dinner are seated next to ticketholders grabbing a bite before their show at the area's historic theaters. They can sample the tasting menu at cozy-yet-refined Veritas, enjoy fresh focaccia at Speck Italian Eatery, or sit down for coffee and conversation at Parable Cafe. Those headed to work can pick up a bite from chain fare scattered throughout the district before clocking in. Patrons line up for lunch and shop fresh produce or handmade wares in tight quarters at North Market Downtown, a public market that has been a fixture in Columbus for 148 years. Kroger locations can also be found throughout the city, the closest being in the nearby Brewery District. Big-box grocers are otherwise hard to come by here, though The Hills Market is a small, gourmet option right outside the Columbus Museum of Art selling essentials and premade meals. Uptown District residents can take the Olentangy Freeway 4.5 miles north to Lennox Town Center for a full day of big-box shopping and dining.
Carefully crafted cocktails are served at Hank's Seafood in the Uptown District.
Speck Italian Eatery offers delicious and unique Italian inspired cuisine.
The Hills Market is located less than a mile outside of the Uptown District.

Traveling by car, COTA or CoGo
“The area is extremely walkable,” Perkins says. “You’re living right in the center of the heart of Columbus. You can step outside your door and be just one block from theaters and restaurants.” Locals can also take advantage of CoGo, a network of hundreds of bikes available for rent at various points throughout the city. Bike lanes run alongside several major roads in the Uptown District, and the scenic Central Ohio Greenway Trail borders the Scioto River. Commuters can reach the other areas of greater Columbus by car or by catching a bus from the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) Transit Terminal. West Broad Street cuts through the uptown sector and leads to the Discovery Bridge, which brings residents to the Franklinton Arts District and beyond. Interstates 670 and 70 sit north and south of the district, respectively. Residents can get from home to John Glenn Columbus International Airport in just over 6 miles on I-670. They’re also less than 1 mile from OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and Emergency Department.
Central Ohio Transit Authority is conveniently located within the Uptown District.
CoGo bicycle racks are posted alongside Marconi street and are available to rent for a small fee

Refurbished historical meets concierge luxury
For every restaurant and convenience store in the Uptown District, dozens of locals live above in refurbished apartments and condos. Pedestrians pass historic midrise businesses-turned-residencies, like the Citizens Building, a 1916-era Neoclassical bank converted to condos. Despite the urban ambiance, clean sidewalks include ample tree shade, and rows of parked cars form a barrier from oncoming traffic. The majority of residents in this sector are renters, but units are also available for purchase from about $250,000 to $550,000. Meanwhile, luxury high-rise condos with floor-to-ceiling windows on the banks of the Scioto River and the occasional ritzy penthouse cost between $600,000 and $850,000.
The Citizen Building was built in 1917 making it one of the oldest structures within the city.

Exploring the Scioto Mile
On a sunny day, locals stroll through centrally located Bicentennial Park. Established in 1976 on the United States' 200th anniversary, the nearly 5-acre park features a fountain and a performance pavilion. It’s part of the “Scioto Mile,” a collection of interconnected waterfront parks and trails on the Scioto River. Meanwhile, the 6-acre grassy expanse at John F. Wolfe Columbus Commons includes gardens, a performance stage, playgrounds and a carousel.

Performance art in the Uptown District
A surge of gallery spaces in the Uptown District provides space for regional artists to showcase their work amid the hustle and bustle of the city, like Urban Arts Space on the first floor of the Lazarus Government Center. The Art Deco building, which finished construction in 1927, was the tallest building in the city for several decades. It’s home to the historic Palace Theatre, a 2,700-seat restored movie palace built in 1926 and used as a performing arts center today. The Columbus Symphony plays periodically at the Ohio Theatre, a Spanish Baroque-style venue now owned and operated by The Columbus Association for the Performing Arts. Even more performances and seasonal events pop up throughout the year at Columbus Commons, like Pearl Market in the summer. The grass in front of Bicentennial Park Amphitheater is filled with folding chairs and blankets for performances. And being at the center of the city, residents are only minutes from cultural and entertainment destinations like Nationwide Arena, the Discovery District and the Short North or Franklinton Arts Districts.
