Make the Most of Your Summer

Take in the last days of summer in downtown Columbus! Apartments in the Arena District and Grandview Yard are surrounded by various picture-perfect outdoor locations for all residents to enjoy. 

Enjoy lunch at McFerson Commons or grab a bike from a nearby CoGo station and ride around the city on the Scioto Mile. The Olentangy Trail is perfect for exercise and exploring downtown Columbus. Alongside the Olentangy River, the trail begins at Hofbrauhaus Columbus and takes you to Lower.com Field, where you can cheer on the Columbus Crew. 

 

A Perfect Day in Grandview

Spending time in Grandview Heights is a great way to experience the suburbs while still being conveniently close to the Columbus downtown area. Tobias Banks, a Grandview Yard resident, shares a few of his favorite things about living in the thriving neighborhood here.

Here’s a peek into his agenda for the “perfect day” in Grandview:

  • Grab a delicious breakfast from Brekkie Shack and save a yummy sweet for later
  • Head to the pool for some sun and drinks for a few hours in the afternoon
  • Meet up with friends for happy hour at Habaneros (on the patio, of course)
