Suburb College Upscale Schools Safe Family-Friendly

Upper Arlington is an upscale Columbus suburb sandwiched between the Scioto River to the west and Ohio State University’s main campus to the east. Although in a prime position for residents to take advantage of all the resources, entertainment, and sporting events at Ohio State, Upper Arlington’s local vibe is largely free of any college-town craziness, leaning much more in the direction of suburban tranquility.

Golf courses and large parks scattered around the community provide great opportunities for folks to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Nowhere in town is more than twenty minutes from downtown Columbus, making it highly convenient to get into the larger city for work or leisure anytime.
