My wife and I have been considering moving to Columbus. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and I LOVE IT HERE. Make no mistake, it's beautiful here. But, its become so expensive to live here, all the Californians are driving us out of town, and Ohio is much more affordable. Makes me sad, but if its nice, I can't complain. It'll just be sad to not see mountains outside my window.

I have worked with 5 clients that have moved from the PAC NW and they all have said the same thing about the cost of living, etc. I love going out to visit friends, ski and hike so I can only imagine how hard it would be to leave. If you decide to move and need help buying a house shoot me a call/text 614.935.0545!

Not cracking on your video but you also need to let people know what Columbus is like if you travel 5 to 10 minutes in any direction of down town. Drugs/violence/theft/prostitution is all at a record high in Columbus right now. I’ve lived on the west side of Columbus less than 10 min from downtown and it’s terrible. Not saying Columbus is a crap hole just do your research if you plan on moving here so you and your family end up in a better neighborhood. The Columbus Zoo in the summer is a really great place to visit. I definitely agree with you about red white and boom and the food festivals. 👍

I was a resident of Columbus and everything you’re saying is super accurate. The worst Area of Columbus is Franklinton. But not to scare away future residents it’s fairly cheap here and jobs are also booming, especially during spring time. The best place's to live here is UA, Gahanna, Bexley, Shawnee Hills area, Hillard, galloway, Dublin-Jerome, Westerville, New Albany, Grove city, Pickerington and Obetz. That’s just to name a few.
@GenerationX1971 4 ай бұрын
@@ghost19xx13 some areas are cheaper than others and nicer than others like you mentioned. There’s currently houses in Franklinton aka “The Bottoms” going for 300k. The area is still the same though. I pass through there almost everyday to take my boy to boxing class. The other areas you mentioned outside of Columbus are nice if you can afford 2k a month or more in some areas for rent. It’s just a sad situation to see all the activities that go on around here.

I hope it all returns soon...

I have lived here since 2008! I was able to keep up with affordable rent of $400/Month on 35 years of low wages forced on us by greedy employers! It is now 2023! I cannot afford to be independent anymore since base low cost housing is now over $1,300/Month yet wages have not gone up. You either are lucky to have family take you in, living in your car (severe loneliness and misery), or homeless! Housing wait lists are over 8 years+ long! Shelters full of people with shattered will power! External beauty of a city is NOT a realistic perspective of how dire and cost ridden our city is! Crime is up everywhere! Education is 12 years behind to keep up with technological changes most people cannot afford.

Great question. COTA, Central Ohio Transit Authority is going to have the best source of information (www.cota.com/trip-planner/?viewbus=busstop#tab-view-bus-stop). AFAIK, the bus system is average. Unfortunately there is no light rail system, nor any plans.
@doktaGr4mpi0 3 жыл бұрын
Meh, the bus system is decent, but could be much better. Keep in mind although Columbus is a decent sized city transportation is not really a problem. There is a highway that circles the entire city with 2 MAJOR interstate highways running through that, kind of like a cross. Having a car is needed to get everywhere, but you can bus it pretty much all over but I would HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND THAT. It would be much more convenient to have your own vehicle to get where you need to go faster and avoid waiting

Overall crime is not bad here. I'm from IL and I've been living here for the last almost 14 years now. There are pockets like in every city where you'd want to avoid, but overall it's not bad at all. Most of the problems stem from car "break ins". Kids mostly finding unlocked cars and rummaging through them for who knows what. My wife left her car door unlocked multiple nights with money in the car, and the money was never taken. There are your murders but they are few and far between, at least that's been my experience when reading the local news. The thing to really watch out for is trafficking of women and kids.
