About
Linwood
Linwood, located between Bexley and Whitehall, is a residential and commuter-friendly Columbus neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and mid-century brick homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along E Broad St near the Broadleigh Elementary area, where corner carryouts, auto shops, and small storefronts set a practical, lived-in rhythm. Housing leans toward tidy ranches and Cape Cods with deep setbacks, plus a few older frame houses tucked on quieter side streets. Broad Street’s long commercial corridor shapes daily routines, while nearby Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek greenways add a natural edge. The feel is straightforward and local, with errands and recreation spread across Broad Street and adjacent parks.
