Residential comfort between The Ohio State University and downtown Columbus

Dennison Place is one of the spirited neighborhoods bridging Columbus’s vibrant Short North Arts District with the campus community at The Ohio State University. Also known as “The Circles” thanks to the prominent landscaped roundabouts, locals can travel by foot or bike from the Victorian homes nearby out to a selection of dining and shopping options a few blocks away, along High Street and on OSU’s campus.
