About Southwest
Newark
Southwest Newark, located between West Main Street and the Licking River, is a residential and industrial Newark neighborhood with a rail-lined edge and broad, tree-shaded blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Main Street corridor near 21st Street, where auto shops, corner markets, and long-running local storefronts set a practical, lived-in tone. Community pillars include Weathervane Playhouse, the Midland Theatre, and DankHouse Brewing Company, which anchor nights out beyond the neighborhood’s quieter streets. Housing leans toward modest mid-century homes and older frame houses with deep lots and detached garages. Parks and school grounds add open space, while the river and rail lines shape the area’s geography and daily rhythms.
