Living in Columbus — the reality

Hello, Been living here since 2018. Rent is about $1,072/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thoughts? Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Moved here from New York about 10 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to pet-friendliness but Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Uptown. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in government. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
