Westgate Neighborhood Overview

24of 27 Columbus Neighborhoods

Porch-Proud, Park Ducks, That Bean Dinner

🧭Bordered by: West Broad Street north, Sullivant Avenue and the Camp Chase Trail south, Demorest Road west, Hague Avenue east

📌Well known for: brick Tudors (1920s housing stock with tons of character), Westgate Park, the Hilltop Bean Dinner, since 1935, it's a whole thing

👕You can spot a Westgate local by: folding chairs ready for parades since West Broad Street hosts several and crockpots for neighbors for block parties and church suppers

👍Locals live here because: affordable charm and a killer park next door, Westgate Park is genuinely nice

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: train horns, potholes, the streets need love, and a nightlife of crickets because not much is open late

✨The overall feel is: leafy neighborly quietly proud westside which is part of Hilltop but the nicer pocket

porch sitters and bean dinner lifers, the annual Bean Dinner is serious tradition
