Harrison West - Columbus Ohio

Harrison West is located just north of downtown Columbus and I-670, south of W 5th Ave between the Olentangy Freeway and Harrison Road. This historic neighborhood is similar to Victorian Village just east of Harrison West and in 2008, the neighborhood expanded to include all of Thurber Village to the south.

Harrison West is characterized by beautiful Victorian and Edwardian style homes. Two and three-story stick-built homes are the norm here rather than the brick homes you'll find just a few neighborhoods north.

Many of the older homes have been divided into rental apartments and some remain historical landmarks. Others have been restored to their original beauty. Several older homes have been torn down and replaced with new construction but similar style. In the 1980s, the conversion of a 16-acre former factory site was developed into single-family homes, flats and loss improving the neighborhood and making it a very desirable location to live. The neighborhood centers around commercial properties along Third Avenue which bisects the neighborhood. In 1976, a neighborhood Association was founded advocating for city services and community projects, maintaining the integrity and preservation of this historical architecture. Current projects include quality issues with Olentangy River, maintenance of the bike trail and new neighborhood parks.
