    "Lots of park around for unleash running. Decent areas to walk. Limited grass around apartment buildings. Lots of construction currently makes it hard and unsafe to walk in short north. "

    "Hands down the best value in Columbus; clean, safe, convenient, historic, and way more affordable than Victorian Village just two blocks away. Growing up in San Francisco, I can think of very few other places in the US that I would live - this particular part of Columbus is one of them, because it really is more than a neighborhood, it's a community. Yes, there are a couple run-down homes and businesses as you move away from High Street - but there are also boutiques, a micro-distillery, galleries galore, and an active slow-food movement in the neighborhood."
