Nostalgic turn of the century homes just a few blocks from Columbus' finest spots

Walking along the streets of Columbus’ Victorian Village can feel like passing through a wrinkle in time. The area’s distinctive range of mansions and elaborate houses have stood as a constant within the Arch City’s downtown area, even as periods of decline and revival have influenced the area since its first homes were built. “The architecture in Victorian Village is stunning,” says Cam Tirado, a public relations specialist with Experience Columbus. As the city’s visitor center and a resource for residents, Experience Columbus works with local breweries and businesses to plan pub crawls and other local engagement initiatives. For those who like the idea of being close to Columbus’ social centers but aren't crazy about apartment life, Victorian Village could be the neighborhood for them. “It’s a bit smaller than the Short North but still offers some amazing experiences,” Tirado says.

Victorian homes, classical condominiums and stately brownstones

True to its name, Victorian Village features a plethora of turn-of-the-century homes with Victorian and Queen Anne stylings, including American foursquare homes and brick-lined duplexes. Most of the area’s homes, including local landmarks like Cocoa Manor and Freshwater House, were built between the 1890s and 1920s, and the area’s classical architecture is present in small-scale condominium buildings and high-end brownstones and rowhouses. Prices can range from the $220s for one-bedroom condos up to the $900s for restored and updated three- to four-bedroom homes. Most locals in the area are renters, with only about 38% of residents owning their homes.

W-A-L-K the dogs at Wheeler or relax at Goodale Park

Dog owners looking for a space to walk the pups will find it at Wheeler Memorial Dog Park, an off-leash park close to the neighborhood’s south end on Thurber Drive. The park has more than 1 acre of space and split areas for small and large breeds. Victorian Village also sits just north of Goodale Park, Columbus’s oldest operating public park. Kept open since 1855, the 32-acre park overlooks downtown Columbus on its south side, making it a prime location to enjoy views all year, but especially during the city’s Red, White and BOOM! fireworks show in the summer and on New Year’s Eve. Goodale Park also features a gazebo, walking trails, a scenic pond and a playground. On the neighborhood’s north end, Thompson Community Park offers a space for residents to play sports, take art classes or go for an indoor swim year-round.
