Milo-Grogan Neighborhood Guide

21of 27 Columbus Neighborhoods

Grit, Murals, and Milo Arts Under I-71

🧭Generally defined as the area: North by East 5th Avenue, east by Cleveland Avenue and Joyce Avenue, south by I-670 and Leonard Avenue, west by I-71 and the CSX rail corridor

📌Milo-Grogan is best known for: Milo Arts which is a gallery and community space in an old school building, and street murals

👕The neighborhood stereotype is: Paint splattered jeans, bike grease, caffeine from Thunderkiss Coffee roasting in the neighborhood

👍Locals live here because: Rent stays mortal (under $1,000 for some spaces), dreams feel big (warehouse spaces for studios and living)

👎Be prepared for: Freight horns at 3am because CSX and Norfolk Southern both run through and pop ups, galleries and events appear and disappear constantly

✨The vibe around Milo-Grogan is: Raw creativity, comeback energy
