Hilltop blends historic character with everyday convenience on the west side of Columbus in Franklin County. Early-20th-century bungalows and sturdy brick homes line residential streets, while local storefronts and family-owned eateries keep errands close to home. Pockets like Westgate offer a strong neighborhood identity, and the creative energy of nearby Franklinton adds galleries and breweries just a quick drive away.
Green space is a true point of pride. The neighborhood’s centerpiece, Westgate Park, hosts seasonal festivals and sports on its ballfields, and its community center anchors year-round programs through the city’s parks department. Cyclists and runners enjoy the Camp Chase Trail, a smooth, multiuse path connecting to the regional trail network. When a night out calls, Hollywood Casino Columbus delivers dining, entertainment, and live events close to home. Everyday resources are easy to reach, too—the Hilltop Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library offers classes, homework help, and quiet study spaces, and the Greater Hilltop Area Commission gives residents a direct voice in local planning. Commuters appreciate frequent bus service from COTA, plus quick access to downtown.
Families are served by Columbus City Schools, with West High School offering athletics and college- and career-ready programs. With accessible price points, solid housing stock, and a strong sense of community, Hilltop suits first-time buyers and long-time residents alike.
