Our Neighborhood

We are located on the edge of German Village, Merion Village, and the Brewery District

There is so much to do and see around German Village. We have lots of great restaurants, parks, and stores. During our staff members' breaks, they may take a walk around the neighborhood or sit and watch the ducks at Schiller Park.

Brewery District
The Brewery District is a neighborhood located just west of German Village. The area has a history stretching back nearly 200 years. The first brewery opened in 1836 and the neighborhood changed dramatically after prohibition in 1919. Recently, there has been much redevelopment with numerous restaurants, bars, apartments, and a large grocery store.

German Village
German Village is one of the most outstanding historic restorations in the world. Settled by German immigrants in the early to mid19th century, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1974, becoming the largest privately-funded preservation district on the list. In 2007, it was made a "Preserve America Community" by the White House. Today, it is 233 acres of "living history" where the old meets new and the result is a vibrant and charming community. In 2011, the American Planning Association designated German Village as a top 10 Great Neighborhood, singling it out for its architecture, parks, and engaged citizens.

Merion Village
Merion Village, located directly east and south of German Village, is another historic neighborhood with a diverse population. During the mid-19th century, the neighborhood saw an influx of German, Irish, Italian and Hungarian immigrants. As South Columbus grew into an industrial hub, people from Appalachia and the southern U.S. began to relocate to this area. Home to historic houses, churches, and schools, Merion Village remains a vibrant and special place. Today, many of the people residing in the area have strong family ties dating back to the early 1900s.
