Eastmoor Neighborhood Guide

Eastmoor is a leafy, established East Side neighborhood where midcentury ranch homes sit behind well-kept hedges and front porches still get regular use, the kind of place where yard decorations become a form of neighborhood expression and lawn flamingos are not ironic. The neighborhood takes real pride in its roots, most notably as the hometown of Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman Trophy winner in college football history, and that OSU identity runs deep across the whole area. Eastmoor Academy anchors the community and gives the neighborhood a local focal point that many similarly sized Columbus neighborhoods lack. Residents tend to have the space to actually live outside, with yards large enough for cookouts and the kind of neighborly culture that comes from decades of people staying put. Bounded by East Broad to the north and Yearling Road near the Whitehall border to the east, the neighborhood is well-connected but retains a settled, residential character that feels distinctly its own.
