West Side

West Side Columbus covers the broad west Franklin County side of the city, from older residential corridors to newer retail along the interstates and the industrial edges that still employ a lot of the 614. It is less of a single walkable brand than Short North and more of a practical map for people who live, work, worship, and run errands west of the Scioto without crossing downtown every day.

For things to do on the West Side, pair neighborhood errands with citywide attractions rather than expecting one High Street clone. Check events for what is reachable without fighting downtown parking, skim best Mexican food when a west-side room is the pick, and use where to live when you are comparing west-side housing against Grandview, Hilliard, or Franklinton.
