A convenient getaway in west Columbus

For over 30 years, Scioto Woods has been a scenic retreat of a suburb in western Columbus. Acres of trees and a winding creek bring an organic character to the area, and even typically quiet neighbors will gather for sporting events at bars and food trucks at the local park. El Paso Drive holds several houses of worship. Golfers can go up to Trabue Road for a popular course designed by famous architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. Wilson Road is an access point for groceries and restaurants, and I-70 to the south makes the drive to Columbus convenient for locals.

‘90s styles just south of Trabue Road

“Neighbors pretty much keep to themselves. The area is nice and quiet, with a few parks and just some easy places to hang out. It’s pretty relaxed,” says Columbus Realtor Thomas Hamrick, who grew up in the area. Wide streets lined on either side by quarter-acre lots and well-maintained contemporary houses with pale siding and gabled roofs make up the north portion of the neighborhood. Homebuyers can find three-to-four-bedroom family homes built in the ‘90s just south of Trabue Road and the Raymond Memorial Golf Course. These homes cost around $250,000 to $500,000 compared to older homes on the southern side of Scioto Woods. Vinyl and wood-sided bungalows and ranches built in the 80s cost around $200,000, though residents can find condominiums in similar styles at $80,000.

Food trucks and summer hangouts at Scioto Woods Park

The abundance of trees and the flowing creeks in Scioto Woods has given locals a scenic getaway from the hustle of nearby Columbus for over three decades. Scioto Woods is a focal point of the neighborhood. This 9-acre park not only has a playground, picnic tables, and a small shelter but also serves as a gathering spot in the summer, where a variety of food trucks roll up weekly from May to October. A paved walking trail connects the various portions of the park. Redick Park offers another 24 acres of recreational spaces with walking trails that wind through woods and along the creeks in the area, and a large field to the south hosts a baseball diamond, a basketball court and an athletics center. Golf enthusiasts can head north to Trabue Road’s Raymond Memorial Golf Course, a popular and unique course built by the famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. This 50-year-old course features 18 holes and several junior golf programs to further the skills of young golfers. Locals along El Paso Road and just to the west of the neighborhood can find several churches of differing Christian denominations, as well as Guru Nanak Religious Society Sikh Temple.

Shopping and Dining along Wilson Road

Bordered by Wilson Road and Trabue Road, Scioto Woods locals are no stranger to the variety of restaurants offered, even in the small suburbs of Columbus. “There’s not a lot of places you can walk to, but Trabue is probably one of the more popular roads for bars,” says Hamrick. Fairweathers Cafe is one such bar that is almost never empty. Locals come for the atmosphere and stay for the drinks. While the bar doesn’t usually serve food, events throughout the year bring patrons in for tasty snacks and happy hours, especially for the Ohio State Buckeye football games. Wilson Road has plenty of eateries, like Twin Sunlight, with its friendly staff and Chinese food or Minelli’s Pizza and its piping hot Italian cuisine. Further down Wilson Road, residents can grab essential groceries from Kroger. Music lovers and aspiring artists can book with Radio City Records within the neighborhood to use its professional recording studio.
