"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan, March 08
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp, Feb 08
What Neighborhoods Comprise Columbus?
October 30th, 2007 categories: Columbus News
I have a side project that I’ve been meaning to get to that is a Wiki of Columbus Neighborhoods. You could go crazy trying to decide what makes up a neighborhood and start calling every subdivision a neighborhood, which in a way, they are. I couldn’t find an officially sanctioned list of recognized Columbus Neighborhoods on the City’s Site.
Wikipedia has the following listed as Columbus Neighborhoods. I will probably use most of these Columbus Neighborhoods and maybe drill down one level here and there to include communities such as Woodland Park and Beechwold. Here’s a chance to brush up on your Columbus Neighborhood Knowledge.
Tell me what you think about this list. Overly comprehensive (I never heard of Seagrave) or not comprehensive enough?
