    "I used to live in this area, and have many friends who still do. The public transport is excellent, served by both COTA and the free CABS service to campus. The neighborhood can be loud (students or recent grads are the majority of the population). Parking may be difficult to find, and there is a lot of smash-and-grab theft in the area. "

    "I live in the Old North and have for many years...this is a dynamic neighborhood of artists, young families, OSU staff and students, professionals and graduates. Walking distance to great amenities along the High St. commercial district is outstanding. Love the easy access to amazing parks, ravines and bike trails including the Olentangy Multi-use trail. The city of Columbus has stellar parks, recreation centers and well-kept grounds to experience nature with ease and the amazing Wetlands and OSU research park offers impressive bird watching and serene walking paths. The Old North is a an older neighborhood with mature trees, sidewalks and eclectic homes with active neighbors. Enjoy easy access to the major freeways, St. Rte 23 - the major North-South road through Columbus, 10 minutes to Downtown Columbus and Uptown Worthington. I love the dynamic community of the Old North and highly recommend this area as a great place to live and a great place to do business."
