Now for an urban beauty

 

Hey, it's my (somewhat) neighborhood!

nice.

very pretty!

Wow that makes me like Columbus a little better.

It's Upper Arlington lol

It's almost Bexley. *ducks* No but really, it has a pretty urban grid, just lacks a nice downtown.

Hey, Old Arlington isn't bad for an "old downtown."  Now that Tremont/Kingsdale crap, no.

It's Upper Arlington lol

 

I meant the Columbus area. I had never seen Upper Arlington, but it looks like a great neighborhood.  Would Hyde Park be a fair comparison?

^Not quite, UA isn't as dense and has a more "zoned" feel. Basically, just think of "General Eastside", then flatten it out.

^ you nailed it!

 

we lived on elmwood in a typical brick 4 apt building on the edge of columbus, but the ranch house right next door was in ua. that apt was pretty cool as the other tenants were writers for 'the other paper,' a long running free columbus weekly newspaper, so we got to hear about all the dirt and doings around town.

Nice area. I really like the first house.

It's Upper Arlington lol

Think Wyoming moreso than Hyde Park, minus the downtown area.

You wish; Lower Arlington.

 

You could compare it to some parts of Hyde Park. The sprawly portion. Definately not the streets north of Erie.

 

Hehe, Wyoming. I talked to this girl I know from Wyoming about the stark contrast once you "cross the railroad tracks" in downtown Wyoming. She was like "yeah we help Lockland out a lot though" I was like yeah I don't see you all lowering your property tax base any time soon.

Lower Arlington > David.

Old Arlington is it's downtown? It has a downtown? Where? Guh?

Pretty homes.

Old Arlington is at Arlington Rd @ Waltham Rd.

 

Basically, coming from Grandview, take Northwest Boulevard north until you get to Waltham and make a left.  Go down Waltham and make a right onto Arlington and BAM!  Mini-Mariemont.

Thanks, I'll have to make my way over there. But 1st, time for Google Earth.

The best things going about UA are 3 (yes 3) city pools and the crazy international OSU resident population–at any given time you'll hear three languages being spoken at Tremont park. Aside from that, I've got nothing but a great big yawn for UA. Just further proof of the mutual exclusivity of money and taste in Columbus.

Wonderful UA photos.  A garden city surrounded by Columbus and the Ohio State University.  I think Upper Arlington also has the highest per capitia of OSU professors than anyplace else on earth.

^Either that or Clintonville.

^ those would be the art teachers lol!

Art teachers can afford Clintonville? You sure they're not in a warehouse somewhere in Franklinton?

I'm glad someone showed off Upper Arlington. My mom and her fiance are considering moving there; they looked at one of the houses that you took a picture of, which was the house with brick showing through after the stream. Overall, nice pictues and a great suburb close to OSU and downtown.

 

Upper Arlington, by far, beats out New Albany and Powell in terms of housing stock, appeal, character and varieties of people living there.

The only problem with living in UA is falling into the trap of going to UAHS, commuting to OSU while living with your folks, getting a job downtown, buying a house in Arlington (the "Upper" is implied) and only hanging out with your UAHS class for the rest of your life.

 

Also, was it Upper Arlington or Grandview that had high school fraternities and sororities until the '60s or '70s? Apparently, they were almost as partied-out as their college counterparts.

These are great...you had some interesting lighting/shadows to play with as well.

It's not quite Oakwood, but still nice :)

If I were from UA I'd probably just take solace in my plight by diving in my private in ground pool full of 10 dollar bills.

It's more like western Kettering (the area south of Oakwood) than Oakwood.
