Columbus is the fastest growing and largest city in Ohio (and the 14th largest city in the Country!) Columbus covers over 233 miles, allowing for a variety of neighborhoods and mini-regions where you might choose to live. The city really has it all. You’ll find everything from the most rural suburbs to an ever-growing downtown condominium market for peak urban living.
The city is perfect for active lifestyles, having invested $20 million to develop a growing system of bike and fitness trails that connect the suburbs and river trails to downtown's $44 million riverfront park system restoration. If you love the outdoors, Columbus features plenty of green spaces where you can walk, bicycle ride, hike, and swim. The city also has several large urban parks. These include Schiller Park in German Village, Goodale Park in the Short North, and Franklin Park on the east side where you'll find the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. (Visit here to see the beautiful butterfly and Chihuly glass exhibits!)
Columbus offers a variety of housing options-from the restored historic German Village, the Short North district, downtown condominiums, and new neighborhoods popping up around out outside of the area. The city is gaining nationwide recognition for its historic neighborhoods, booming downtown arts and sporting districts, open attitude and a noticeably affordable quality of life.
The city’s diversified economy allows Columbus to remain a strong employment performer in the Midwest. It is among the top 100 metro areas in the nation, making moving to Columbus a safe and smart option for workers, notes The Columbus Dispatch. Along with Ohio State University and state-related jobs, the city is teaming with industries in all sectors that attract people from around the country and the world. Company corporations such as Intel (coming soon!), Google, Facebook, Amazon, L Brands, Nationwide, Ohio Health, Express, Ohio State University Medical Center and more are some of the most talked about companies to work for in the city.
