When you're standing on North High Street, beneath one of the street's arches and looking at the historic buildings that contain some of Columbus’ best art galleries, boutiques, pubs, cafes, and restaurants, you'll know you've discovered someplace special. This is Short North, the city's fun, funky arts district. Renting an apartment in Short North is an adventure, where you can choose from an array of historic apartment buildings, distinctive rowhouses, or brand-new condos.
Short North is located just south of Ohio State University, the nation's third-largest university. If you are going to live in Short North, be prepared to be surrounded by all things Buckeye. The OSU Buckeyes are part of the Big Ten Conference, and they are one of just five universities to have won national championships in all men's sports (football, basketball, and baseball).
On the south end of the neighborhood, Nationwide Arena provides endless entertainment options, especially for professional hockey fans, since this is the home of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. The arena also hosts concerts and other major events on a regular basis.
You'll find plenty to do in the Short North Arts District, from the monthly Gallery Hop to numerous nightclubs, theaters, and community events. Short North contains a variety of small businesses, and the boutiques are endless. Do your grocery shopping at North Market, and be sure to check out the neighborhood’s many top-rated restaurants.
