![]() ![]() Yes you can get houses for 50k here and not just foreclosures. SO is also connected to a 'ritzy' neighborhood, but is seperated by parsons ave, which as strange as it sounds, actually seems less likely to be expanded past. MG is connected to an expanding, gentrifying neighborhood known as italian village, but it is separated by the train tracks. The houses in these places are not trendy or historical. that being said, both SO and MG have a real feeling of culture to them, and would maybe be in the same boat as those other hot neighborhoods ten years down the road, but the makeup of the neighborhoods tells me that it will be in a different way. Milo Grogan and Southern Orchards are not yet 'hot' bc they have real crime, and foreclosed houses. OTE is the 'hot' place to be right now and is full of the artsy 20 something intellectual types already. I would say neighborhoods with old, historical houses such as OTE and king lincoln are definitely already noticed. I am running on very low sleep but i would like to shaare my thoughts, so enjoy this stream of consciousness: Franklin would be ideal, but it also has some of the better maintained homes, so, again, you may find prices are inflated a bit. ![]() The next part is totally personal preference, but I also find Bryden to be one of the busiest streets in the neighborhood, so I'd look for something a bit quieter. (IIRC, the OTE association has similar boundaries in order to participate in the association, if that's your thing.) meaning, there's more of a community feel (the community gardens are close to the middle of this area, for example), you're closer to the few established restaurants/bars/shops, and you'll see fewer abandoned and empty homes. What people consider dangerous is totally subjective, but I feel comfortable to walk my dog at all hours in most of OTE for what that's worth.īroadly speaking, if you stay west of Ohio, north of Bryden, south of Broad, and east of Parsons, you're in what feels most like OTE, IMO. In 10-15 years, I could see this entire area being completely gentrified, so I don't know that it will be a long-term consideration. There's a lot of variation block to block. Something to keep in mind is that - although this is changing pretty rapidly - parts of OTE seem more "rough" (as you put it) than others. Are these neighborhoods feasible? Is there a neighborhood or area that I'm not thinking of downtown that is a good opportunity for someone like me? Last, is it delusional to think I could buy with such a short time frame? Should I just rent(why are rents so expensive? I'm looking at 800-1000 for somewhat cruddy apts)? Anyone give me a heads up on short term rentals? I will be in Columbus late next week and I'm thinking of lining up viewings to see what I can buy with my budget. ![]()
