University District

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

The University District packs a lot into 2.8 square miles just north of Downtown Columbus: 61 restaurants, 19 coffee shops and 15 parks stretched around the main Ohio State campus and Wexner Medical Center. It's the city's most densely populated area, and the Foursquare tastes read like a student's week — breakfast spots, pizzerias, donut shops and fried chicken joints. A Walk Score of 85 and clean air (AQI 30) make it easy to move on foot between class, coffee and Old North Columbus. Three groceries and a single court keep the essentials within reach without ever slowing the pace.
