Quiet suburban living with easy access to urban conveniences
Sharon Woods Senior Village II is situated in the Northgate neighborhood, a subdued and laid-back residential area on the outskirts of north Columbus. This location offers residents the best of both worlds: a quiet suburban lifestyle with convenient access to urban amenities and major highways.
The neighborhood is characterized by its leafy cul-de-sacs and calm streets, providing a peaceful atmosphere for residents. Despite its suburban nature, Northgate is well-connected to shopping and dining destinations, thanks to its proximity to Interstate 270.
For everyday necessities, residents have several options within a short drive. Gordon Food Service Store, located about a mile and a half away, offers a wide range of grocery items. For those seeking international flavors, Saraga International Grocery is just a 3-mile drive from the complex.
Dining options in the area cater to various tastes. Fitzy's Old Fashioned Diner, about a mile and a half away, serves classic American comfort food in a nostalgic 1950s setting. For those craving Mediterranean cuisine, Yappy Greek, located 3.5 miles from the complex, offers delicious Greek eats in a casual atmosphere.
The neighborhood boasts several parks and green spaces for outdoor enthusiasts. Beechcroft Park, less than a mile away, features a football field and is perfect for a quick stroll. Devonshire Park, about a mile from the complex, offers playgrounds and picnic areas for leisurely afternoons outdoors.
For more extensive outdoor recreation, Sharon Woods Metro Park is just a 10-minute drive away. This sprawling park features picnic areas, playgrounds, fishing spots, and trails, providing ample opportunities for nature walks and outdoor activities.
Cultural amenities are also within easy reach. The Columbus Metropolitan Library: Karl Road Branch is about a mile away, offering a wealth of reading materials and community programs. For those interested in community activities, the Woodward Park Community Center, located 2 miles from the complex, provides various programs and events for seniors.
Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several retail options. Roses Discount Store, less than a mile away, offers a range of affordable household items and clothing.

Accessible public transit and convenient highway connections
Sharon Woods Senior Village II benefits from its strategic location, offering residents various transportation options that balance suburban living with urban accessibility. The neighborhood provides a mix of public transit and car-friendly infrastructure, catering to different transportation preferences and needs.
For those who rely on public transportation, several bus stops are within walking distance of the complex. The State Route 161 and Sharon Woods Boulevard bus stop, served by the Westerville line, is about a 10-minute walk away. Another option is the Karl Road and State Route 161 stop, approximately a 15-minute walk, which is served by both the Sharon Woods and Karl/S High/Parsons lines. These bus routes provide connections to various parts of Columbus, enhancing mobility for residents who prefer not to drive.
The area's layout and infrastructure make it relatively friendly for pedestrians, with many daily necessities accessible on foot. However, for longer trips or carrying groceries, residents may find it more convenient to use a car or public transportation.
For residents who drive, the complex's location near major roads is a significant advantage. Interstate 270, Columbus's outerbelt, is easily accessible, providing quick connections to other parts of the city. This proximity to I-270 makes it convenient for residents to reach downtown Columbus, which is about 12 miles south, in approximately 20 minutes during normal traffic conditions.
For air travel, John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about a 20-minute drive away, making it convenient for residents who travel frequently or expect out-of-town visitors. The airport's proximity also means that rideshare or taxi services to and from the airport are reasonably affordable.
While the area may not be ideal for extensive cycling due to its suburban nature, some residents might find biking suitable for short trips to nearby parks or local amenities. However, it's worth noting that dedicated bike lanes are limited in the immediate vicinity.
The combination of nearby public transit options, walkable distances to some amenities, and easy access to major roadways provides residents of Sharon Woods Senior Village II with a range of transportation choices, allowing them to navigate the city efficiently based on their individual needs and preferences.
