Niche Reviews 
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. Apartments for rent in Merion Village are just a short walk from the Scioto River, with multiple parks lying along the river’s edge as part of the Scioto Mile. 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.

The houses are fair. Just okay in functioning condition a lot of them could use new siding, paint, and porch repairs to make them more appealing. They houses are more in functioning condition not visually pleasing conditions.
