Victorian Village is historic and pedestrian-friendly

True to its name, Victorian Village is a Columbus neighborhood that makes visitors feel like they’ve taken a quick trip back in time. Set between Harrison West and Short North, this area is known for the historic architecture on its highly walkable streets. Well-preserved Victorian and Queen Anne homes are a point of pride with a community that passionately protects and maintains its turn-of-the-century ambiance. Being close to high-traffic spots like the Arena District and the Uptown District makes commutes easy, whether for work or play.

Renovated Victorian and Queen Anne homes line the streets

For many people, the real charm of living in Victorian Village is being a part of a neighborhood that’s dynamic and alive, even with its traditional architecture. “There’s always something changing,” says Bruce Dooley, who leads the Dooley and Company team at Keller Williams Classic Properties. “Something’s always getting renovated or rebuilt – it’s an interesting place to live.” Refurbished Victorian, Queen Anne and colonial homes from the early 20th century line streets dappled with the shade of mature maple and magnolia trees. These homes typically sell from the mid-$300,000s to the high $500,000s. Some of the largest houses in the area are fully renovated with over 2,000 square feet of space. These can sell anywhere between the low $600,000s and $1.1 million. Brick condos are also available, usually selling from the low $200,000s to the high $400,000s.

Any changes to historic homes need board approval

With a median construction year dating back over a century, it’s easy to understand why historic preservation is important to the neighborhood. Dooley, who’s served on the board of the Victorian Village Commission, says that potential homeowners should take that into account before moving here. “They have an architectural review, so any changes to the houses need to be approved by the board,” he says. Many people bristle at the idea of being told what they can and can’t do with their property, but Dooley points out that it’s for the good of the community. “Your neighbor might need those rules really badly,” he says. “So it’s just as much to protect you.”

Popular shopping spots and restaurants are less than a mile away

The neighborhood is less than a half-mile from a variety of locally owned stores and boutiques in the Short North Arts District, including Smartypants Vintage, Ladybird, Samson Men’s Emporium and Big Fun Columbus Vintage Toys. This area also has several well-loved eateries, including:

- 698 Restaurant, which offers an upscale Asian experience with an elegant atmosphere.
- Marcella’s serves Italian favorites like cacio e pepe, beef carpaccio and veal picatta.
- Press Grill is a longtime local favorite, with a classic tavern food menu and a fully stocked bar.

- Arch City Tavern is known for its classy take on pub food like wings, burgers and southwestern spring rolls

Victorian Village is within walking distance to parks, restaurants, bars and art galleries.

The neighborhood is popular with commuters

A grid system of sidewalks and a position just north of Downtown Columbus make Victorian Village a popular choice for pedestrians. But even commuters from farther away take advantage of its walkability. “There’s a large portion of people who drive to the neighborhood, park here and then walk the last mile or so to work,” Dooley says. Students and faculty of The Ohio State University are also fond of the relatively short walk to campus, which can be as little as a mile.
