Severed from Olde Towne East years ago by Interstate I-70, Olde Oaks has the historic housing stock that can stand toe to toe with any neighborhood in Columbus. The entire community is an historic district within Columbus and the beautiful, big homes are affordable, reasonable, and located just a few minutes from Downtown Columbus and Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
For example, Look at this gorgeous 2380 sq ft brick center hall with 4 beds and 2 baths on a double lot for only $139,00! Old Oaks is the most intact of Columbus’ turn-of-the-century streetcar era neighborhoods that show the homes of the middle and upper classes. Architecture styles include American Four-Squares in Mission and Neoclassical Revival styles, as well as Modified Queen Annes.
The neighborhood is bounded on the West by the homes on Ohio Avenue, on the East by the homes on Kimball Place, on the North by Mooberry Street, and on the South by Livingston Avenue.
Olde Oaks Civic Association meeting are the 2nd Monday of the month at Holy Rosary St. John Community -640 South Ohio Avenue at 6:30 p.m.
Joe: I just dropped by to check out a soon to be fellow Tomato blogsite owner. Mine is currently under development. Your post on Olde Oaks caught my eye because we have a subdivision in Houston Texas with the same name. The subdivision is extremely close to Spring Texas my real estate stomping grounds so to speak.
I like your use of the slide show to showcase community photos. Google is great for its aerial and road shots but nothing’s quite like the community shots taken by someone who is familiar with the community.
