Westgate draws people who value classic architecture, leafy streets, and a strong neighborhood identity on the west side of Columbus. Centered by the 46-acre Hilltop community’s signature green, Westgate Park is the area’s everyday playground—think shady walking paths, a stocked fishing pond, ballfields, and seasonal programming from the city’s parks department at the official Westgate Park site. Annual favorites like Summer Jam West and the historic Hilltop Bean Dinner fill calendars, while the nearby Franklinton arts district and downtown put galleries, theaters, and major employers within an easy commute.
Outdoor time is effortless here. Cyclists and runners hop on the Camp Chase Trail for miles of smooth, scenic pavement connecting to the regional trail network. When it’s time to recharge indoors, the Hilltop Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library offers modern study spaces, children’s story times, and ample community rooms.
Families appreciate access to Columbus City Schools, with neighborhood students attending Westgate Elementary and continuing to West High School; the district provides a full suite of academic, arts, and athletic options, plus choice and magnet programs. Front-porch conversations, neighborhood cleanups, and pocket park plantings reinforce the close-knit feel, while solid 1920s–1950s brick homes and bungalows provide lasting character at approachable price points.
