409 W. 5th Ave

Harrison West sits just northwest of downtown Columbus, with a compact residential grid near the Olentangy River and the urban stretch of Goodale Park. The seasons bring hot, humid summers and cold winters, so the neighborhood’s sidewalks, river paths and green spaces offer changing ways to get outdoors throughout the year. Goodale Park has lawns, walking paths and a playground, while the Olentangy Trail provides a route for walking and biking. Nearby High Street adds restaurants, coffee shops and everyday shopping; galleries, theaters and nightlife are also close by in the Short North. Historic brick homes and former industrial buildings reflect Harrison West’s evolution, while newer housing adds to its varied streetscape. Walking and cycling work well for local trips, and COTA buses and nearby downtown connections broaden transit options. Harrison West’s median rent is $1,800 per month, with a typical range of $899 to $4,450.
