Northern Lights, located between High Street and Indianola Avenue, is a residential and artsy Columbus neighborhood with mid-century apartment courts and a low-slung commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Street corridor near the Northern Lights Shopping Center, where record bins, rehearsal rooms, and late-night bites share the sidewalk. The Newport Music Hall and Skully’s Music-Diner anchor the live-music calendar, while Used Kids Records keeps the crate-digging tradition loud. Side streets mix brick ranches with compact multifamily buildings and deep tree cover. A short walk north, the Ohio State University Airport adds a steady hum and wide-open sky. Evenings lean toward patios, posters, and showtimes rather than big-box bustle.
