Columbus, Ohio neighborhood rankings??

[Erin K.]

I saw a post on here a while back with practically a street-by-street rundown by someone familiar with Cleveland ranking the various neighborhoods. Anyone have or seen a list like that for Columbus? We are looking at some properties and I would like to get familiar with the neighborhoods that are up and coming vs. war zones and the in-between affordable ones.  Thanks!

@Erin K. I live near wooster! Ya do not see that town pop up much on here!

anyhow, I do not think you can take ANY ranking that goes street by street 

as an accurate source of info. People move all of the time. I have bought on great 

streets and next thing I know, someone moves in on the street and changes the entire culture. 

I find if you buy on streets with more owner occupants and not a lot of multi units, you can really 

have a fighting chance of it being ok. 

I always tell my investors if you REALLY wanna know a street, go on the first of the month on a warm friday evening, you will see what a neighborhood is all about. 

If someone tries showing you a house on a rainy Sunday morning..... watch out! LOL

Just my 2 cents. :-)
