43204Valleyview is a small village in the heart of Columbus' West Side. Homes are a short distance from Columbus City Schools and the many shops and restaurants along West Broad Street. There are also plenty of opportunities to get outside, with pocket parks and larger green spaces in the area. People move to Valleyview because of its convenient location and highway access, but it's the close community that encourages them to stay.
While Valleyview is a small village, there is a lot of variety in the housing. You’ll find American Foursquares and bungalows from the 1920s down the road from mid-20th-century cottages and ranch-style houses. Many homes have driveways and detached garages, which are accessible via back alleys. “One way to tell a good neighborhood that’s older is to look at the alleys says resident and Realtor John Hellwege with Myers Real Estate. “When you look at the alleys in Valleyview, they’re in good shape and kept clean.” Prices generally range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $200,000s. Homes rarely hit the market. “A lot of families have been there for a long time," says Realtor Kareem Jackson with Taylor Made Realty, who used to live in Valleyview.
Valleyview is located near interstates 70 and 270, which makes it easy to commute across the metro area. You can reach in just over 5 miles (10 minutes). Central Ohio Transit Authority buses stop along the nearby West Broad Street.
Freight trains often pass through the village. “I lived near the train tracks when I was there,” Jackson says. “They were annoying at first, but you eventually get used to them.”
Most of Valleyview is part of the Columbus City School District. Career and technical education pathways at West High School include The Academy of Health Care and Smart Automation, where students learn about patient care amid a changing technological landscape. There’s also The Academy of Marketing and Innovation, which helps students learn about branding. Some homes are zoned for the South Western City School District.
Between nearby breweries and restaurants along West Broad Street, you have plenty of restaurants to choose from. Options include:
Locals head to the small pocket park along Dibblee Avenue to get some fresh air. There is a playground, a basketball hoop and a covered picnic area. There are larger parks with more amenities nearby. At Westgate Park, there are athletic fields and basketball courts, as well as a stocked fishing pond. People can exercise at the Westgate Community Center gym or at the nearby Hilltop YMCA. Pedestrians and bicyclists use the Camp Chase Trail, a rail trail that runs from Madison County to the Scioto Trail. “You can take that trail to connect to another trail to get to Cincinnati if you want to,” Jackson says.
Part of what makes Valleyview stand out is its community spirit. “When I lived there, everyone knew everyone,” Jackson says. “It’s the type of place where neighbors will keep an eye on your house when you’re gone.” While there aren’t many events in the village itself, you can often see your neighbors at citywide festivities like:
