YouTubeI was driving east on North Broadway today, past 71. The area seems really nice; small, nice-looking houses that seemed well priced. Is that considered to be part of Clintonville? It's not really labeled on Google Maps. Anyone know about the area? All I can see is that it's north of North Linden.

thanks! wikipedia claims that north linden "has the highest crime rate in Columbus, Ohio since 2004." it didn't feel that way driving around; am i missing something or is wikipedia wrong?

I never experienced any crime my entire time there, a total of five years. I've been a crime victim multiple times since moving to my current home in North Campus. It's mostly working families over there. Where I lived it was quiet, safe and very mellow. Only downside was COTA was harder to access out there (buses don't run as often) and I didn't like riding my bicycle home after dark, crossing 71 (via Hudson, Weber, N. Broadway or Cooke) was always scary for me.

I live in the neighborhood. The streets are basically half really well maintained houses with nice people and half section 8 types with tenants who don't really care about maintaining their houses, yards etc. Beware of houses on your street that are 'for rent.' I happen to have neighbors from hell - trash in their yards, shady deals going on, cops frequently called. I love my house and my yard and honestly, many of the people I've met who live across and down the street seem like really nice people. I would say if you're moving there definitely check out your neighbors first (of course, mine moved in after me so it wouldn't have done any good ...)

I lived on Dunedin, right near Oakland Park Nursery. It was great. I have friends on Piedmont and Acton that love it there. That whole area around Oakland Park Nursery is pretty well maintained. I know the area varies greatly depending on the street.

I recently bought a house in that area, north of the intersection of Cooke and Morse Rd. We love it so far and the neighborhood seems quiet and annoying-neighbor free. We paid less than half what you'd pay for a similar house in Clintonville and the house still has plenty of charm (1959 model with hardwood throughout). I was initially skeptical of looking in this area, but my realtor said there were deals to be had in this neighborhood and that the "bad crime" is based in North Linden proper, more SE of where we bought.
