How revitalization reshaped Weinland Park’s housing appeal

Originally built for factory workers, major revitalization in Weinland Park has turned it into an up-and-coming neighborhood. Filled with tight-knit neighbors, walkable streets and the enormous presence of The Ohio State University, many homeowners are drawn to the area for its atmosphere and vibrant community. A wide spread of historic homes also attract residents, including those interested in investing or flipping properties.

Historic homes, new builds and shifting price points

Lawrence Gohring, a broker with Veterans Plus Real Estate Advisors, says Weinland Park isn’t necessarily best known for its single-family homes. “There’s a lot of investments,” he says. “A lot of rentals out here that go toward the college crowd. But there’s a lot of homeowners here, too.” Walk the neighborhood’s pedestrian-friendly streets and you’ll notice plenty of revitalized homes from the early 20th century, including Craftsman bungalows, revival-style homes and brick rowhouses. Like many urban neighborhoods, lot sizes are small, often less than a tenth of an acre. Any extra space usually goes toward detached garages or other outbuildings. Prices typically run from the low $200,000s to the high $300,000s depending on condition. More recently, 21st-century New Traditional homes have started popping up closer to the east side, with prices generally landing between the high $400,000s and the high $500,000s. The median price for a single-family home in Weinland Park is in the low $400,000s, which is lower than Dennison Place, Italian Village and Short North, comparable to Indianola Terrace and more than double of South Linden and Milo-Grogan.

Nearby factories once drew families to the area, and many of those old industrial sites are now being redeveloped with new housing and commercial space. In 2025, a mixed-use complex with more than 300 apartments, retail space and a rooftop community area opened on the former 3M manufacturing plant site along 5th Avenue.

With restored historic homes alongside newer apartments and mixed-use projects, “it’s becoming an upbeat, lively part of the city with a lot to offer,” says Tanya Long, president of the Weinland Park Civic Association. “It’s a thriving, tight-knit community with people from all different backgrounds. There’s a feeling of camaraderie and community. People here are truly neighbors in every sense of the word.”

Zoned schools and college culture shape the neighborhood

The neighborhood is zoned for Columbus City Schools, one of the largest school districts in Ohio. Weinland Park Elementary School, built in 2006, is at the heart of the neighborhood and is next door to The Ohio State University’s Schoenbaum Family Center, a research and policy center focusing on early childhood development.

Right next door to The Ohio State University’s South Campus, it’s no surprise that Buckeye culture is everywhere. In fact, Gohring says, it’s basically unavoidable. “A lot of college life going on,” he says. “Ohio State is enormous here.”

Parks, gardens and green space woven into city living

Even with the city all around it, the area is still close to plenty of green space and outdoor spots:

  • Weinland Park, the neighborhood’s namesake, has 4 acres of trees and fields, along with a picnic pavilion and basketball courts.
  • Indianola Park features playground equipment and a network of walking paths that wind through the park.
  • Joyce Hughes Park focuses on well-kept garden beds that add a quieter, more relaxed feel.
  • 4th Street Farms and the I.E. Gardens offer an urban place to grow flowers, fruits and vegetables.

Easy access to Ohio State, downtown and public transit

Weinland Park is about half a mile from The Ohio State University’s main campus, and roughly 3 miles from the center of downtown Columbus. Public transit is also available in Weinland Park, with several Central Ohio Transit Authority bus stops along Summit and South 4th streets. Because the neighborhood is connected to several busy streets, traffic can be an issue during work rush hours.

Where residents eat, drink and run everyday errands

North High and South 4th streets are the heart of Weinland Park’s dining and entertainment scene. Locals often stop by Brothers Drake Meadery, a laid-back tasting room that also hosts local musicians and artists from time to time. Service Bar and Middle West Spirits, a restaurant and distillery known for hearty Midwestern comfort food, is another favorite in the neighborhood. For everyday groceries, there is a Kroger just off North High Street. The stretch also connects residents to South Campus Gateway, where they can check out the campus bookstore or catch a movie at the Gateway Film Center, a nonprofit theater that shows the latest blockbusters.

Gateway Film Center is a lively, modern space for a variety of movies & film-related events.
