About
Shepard
Shepard, located between I-71 and Cleveland Avenue, is a residential and industrial Columbus neighborhood with compact blocks and rail-side corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cleveland Avenue and E 17th Avenue corridor, where auto shops, small storefronts, and warehouse bays set a working-day rhythm. Housing leans toward modest early-20th-century houses and small multifamily buildings, with wide streets and utilitarian lots. Nearby, the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds anchors the calendar with large-scale events and showgrounds architecture. The adjacent Historic Crew Stadium site adds a recognizable sports landmark to the area’s edges. Green space and trails connect outward through nearby parks and the Alum Creek corridor.
