Linden Neighborhood Overview

14of 27 Columbus Neighborhoods

COTA CMAX Buzz, Porch Pop, Fresh-Paint Grit

🧭Generally defined as the area: I-71 west, Norfolk Southern tracks near Joyce Avenue east, I-670 south, East Cooke Road north

📌Best known for: carryout burgers, roaring bikes (atvs and dirt bikes are a whole subculture), porch debates about everything from politics to the Buckeyes

👕The neighborhood stereotype is: Buckeyes gear, big smiles, bigger opinions

👍Locals live here because: cheap bungalows, under $100k for some, quick commute, tight community

👎The downsides are: sirens, potholes, and quad bikes at midnight illegally on the streets, cops play whack-a-mole

✨The vibe around Linden is: gritty friendly resilient porch proud with longtime residents fighting to keep the neighborhood stable

DIY landlords, grill smoke, golden hour porch chess and checkers tournaments that draw crowds
