Victorian Village Neighborhood Overview

9of 27 Columbus Neighborhoods

Goodale Strolls, Gingerbread Brag

🧭Generally defined as the area: North by West Fifth Avenue, south by Goodale Street and Interstate 670, east by North High Street, west by Neil Avenue, wrapping Goodale Park at its heart

📌Widely recognized as the place for: Century homes (actual Victorians from the 1890s) and Instagrammable porches, turrets, gingerbread trim, the whole package

👕You can spot a Victorian Village local by: Year round porch sitting and dogs with human names like Margaret, Walter, Beatrice

👍Move here for: Walk to Short North, sleep to cicadas

👎The downsides are: Parking roulette (permit only, guests are screwed), porch envy, home prices flexing

✨The general vibe is: Leafy, chatty, historic, slightly bougie with historic commission oversight on everything

Porch hangs, Goodale Park sunbathers, Halloween spectacle enthusiasts, the decorated houses are legendary
