I keep seeing people overlook Columbus when talking about great places to live. With a population of 906,480, it's big enough to have everything you need but small enough to feel like a community. The food scene is amazing. Weather is moderate — about 55F average.

Been here 20 years. The city has changed a lot but overall for the better.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Weather is the biggest factor for us. Four seasons are nice, not too extreme either way.

I've lived in Midtown for 8 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Cedar Hills. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Rent tip: look for places in October-November. Prices drop and there's more availability.

Check out the Highland Park area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.
