Listed by Kristina Murphy• Howard Hanna Real Estate Svcs
South Hilltop, located between West Broad Street and I-70, is a residential and industrial Columbus neighborhood with a gridded street plan and a working-corridor feel. Much of the housing stock reads as early-to-mid-century, with compact lots, front porches, and long blocks that keep the streetscape consistent. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along West Broad Street near Sullivant Avenue, where auto shops, taquerias, and small storefronts line the corridor in a steady daytime hum. Community touchstones include the Hilltop Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Hilltop YMCA, and the Greater Columbus Convention Center’s Lausche Building at the Ohio Expo Center. Green space and recreation cluster around Westgate Park and the Hilltop YMCA, balancing the commercial strips with open lawns and courts.
