NECKO sits at the edge of campus energy and riverfront calm—generally framed by Neil Avenue, West 8th Avenue, Cannon Drive, and King Avenue—placing residents minutes from the heart of Columbus. This compact enclave offers a mix of early 1900s cottages, brick walk-ups, and newer townhomes, with sidewalks that lead straight to the University District. Healthcare professionals and students appreciate the walk-to-work convenience of the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, while art lovers can catch exhibitions and film series at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Game days and concerts at Ohio Stadium turn weekends into neighborhood events.
Outdoorsy types find the Olentangy Trail just across Cannon Drive for biking and jogging along the river. Coffee, casual eats, and everyday errands cluster nearby along Neil and High, and COTA bus lines make car-light living realistic. When you want a different vibe, it’s a quick hop to galleries and greenspace in Harrison West or to indie dining in Grandview Heights.
Families are served by Columbus City Schools, and proximity to Ohio State adds continuing education and cultural programming to everyday life. Whether you’re eyeing an income-producing duplex or a low-maintenance condo, NECKO’s location delivers strong rental demand and easy urban living.
