What Renters Like and Dislike About Northern Lights Columbus

That it's a small neighborhood surrounded by businesses and busy freeways but still maintains a small community feel.

Old fashioned neighborhood, small businesses nearby - restraunts and coffee shops, even an IGA. Parks, everything is nearby.

Long time residents, pet friendly, close to everything that's important. Neighbors know each other but not in your business. There is always room for improvement in your home, your yard etc.

I like that my home is very close to the downtown and surrounding areas. I'm very close to the best things the city has to offer.

I have some great neighbors very close to me. I live by a private school so I have a huge field in my backyard. There are a lot of dog owners so you see dogs being walked all the time which I love

quiet and suppotive and neigbor kind of friendly adnd we like to go to the metro park do some pinic nothing much i can think of and that what it
