Districts
University District
The Ohio State University has one of the largest campuses in the nation. With over 50,000 students in Columbus alone, the district provides sporting events, festivals, concerts and a vibrant night life.
Short North
The Short North is a collection of galleries, restaurants, and boutiques at the artistic heart of Ohio. With arches lining the street, this district provides everything from historic architecture and creative art, to a bohemian setting to enjoy shopping and dining in what is labelled as a "must see" destination by many travel magazines.
Arena District
The Arena District is a 75 acres (0.30 km2) development project that is home to numerous housing and dining options, along with one-of-a-kind concert and sporting venues. With a large presence of Nationwide Insurance, the district hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena and the Columbus Clippers at Huntington Park.
Downtown
Home to the Ohio Statehouse, downtown produces a mix of business and pleasure. Headquarters of multiple industries are located here, including Huntington Bank and Nationwide Insurance. Parks such as Columbus Commons and the Scioto Mile provide a daily refuge while historic theaters are within walking distance.
