The first thing you'll appreciate about Grove City is its excellent location -- it's on the southwest side of Columbus, bordering I-270 and with I-71 located on the city's east side. With commutes to Downtown Columbus taking just 15 minutes, Grove City apartments are perfect for commuters. But once you start exploring, you'll quickly realize there's much more to love about Grove City than your commute time.
With Ohio State University just 10 miles away, college sports fans will appreciate being able to cheer on the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium. Art lovers will appreciate the Short North Arts District, the Sommer House Gallery, and the Little Theatre off Broadway (paranormal enthusiasts will enjoy learning about the theater's ghost). Parents will appreciate the excellent schools and numerous parks, and history buffs will love the beautiful historic sites. Be sure to explore Century Village, a frontier town that closely resembles life in the 1800s, from the one-room schoolhouse to the working blacksmith forge. Shoppers won't feel left out, either -- Grove City Town Center offers gorgeous art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and more in a historic setting.
