Located in the heart of Downtown Columbus, Merion Village has roots dating back to the early 1800s. The area has an active neighborhood association that hosts potlucks and community events for town residents.

This 175-acre parkland features a free outdoor climbing wall and an Audubon center frequented by nature enthusiasts. Pedestrian and bike paths within the Mile provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Locals often find themselves taking in a meal at the Thurman Café on Thurman Avenue, a classic American steakhouse and burger joint. Or they venture a few blocks north to an assortment of small bakeries and eateries in the neighboring Brewery District.

There is no real community because most of us are renting we are not concerned with the community. They do have a block party once a year and there is a food bank close by that sends out community invitations every now and them.
