The earliest houses in the subdivision were built around 1900 with most filling in the area between then and 1920. A large advertisement with a hand-drawn map appeared in the Sunday, June 26, 1904, "Columbus Dispatch" newspaper touting the benefits of the Woodland Park Addition. It says, "We give you paved streets, cement sidewalks, water, gas, sewerage, electric lights, plenty of fine forest trees and one of the best school districts in the city. Woodland Park Addition has the advantage of three electric car lines by which you can reach High Street in fifteen minutes."
Residents have formed the Woodland Park Neighborhood Association. Their website says, "Woodland Park was established at the turn of the twentieth century as one of the Columbus’ first planned, upscale suburban neighborhoods. Woodland Park was referred to as the 'North Gateway to Franklin Park' and rapidly became home to many of the founding families of Columbus as well as entrepreneurs, business owners, industrialists, educators and artists. Numerous prominent citizens of Columbus, including nationally renowned artist Emerson Burkhart have called Woodland Park home.

Clintonville.
Clintonville is a neighborhood in north-central Columbus, Ohio with around 30,000 residents as of 2011. Clintonville is an informal neighborhood. The southern border is loosely defined as Arcadia Avenue or the Glen Echo Ravine. To the east, either Interstate 71 or the adjacent railroad tracks are commonly accepted. The western boundary is assumed to be the Olentangy River. The northern border of Clintonville is the most ambiguous, with definitions anywhere in the stretch from Cooke Road to the southern border of Worthington. The Clintonville Area Commission boundaries, as established by Columbus City Code, are "bounded on the south by the centerline of the Glen Echo Ravine; on the east by the centerline of the railroad right-of-way immediately east of Indianola Avenue; on the north by the Worthington city limits and on the west by the Olentangy River; each line extended as necessary so as to intersect with adjacent boundaries".
As the cachet of the Clintonville neighborhood grew towards the turn of the 21st century, real estate agents began to label homes north of Cooke Road as being in Clintonville, leading to the apparent absorption of Beechwold and nearby neighborhoods south of Worthington. It was not uncommon in the booming real estate market circa 2000 to even find homes outside of the distinct east and west borders being sold as "Clintonville" homes. Because Clintonville and Beechwold have no official existence, however, the boundaries are a matter of opinion. The area also contains the former unincorporated community of Evanston, a name that was used by the Big Four Railroad as a station along its line and U.S. Postal service until the 1920s. Clintonville includes parts of ZIP codes 43202 and 43214. The United States Post Offices at the center of each ZIP code are known as Clintonville Station and Beechwold Station, respectively.
Despite unclear boundaries of neighborhoods the boundaries are generalized into four distinct neighborhoods: South Clintonville, North Clintonville, Beechwold, and North-of-Morse.
South Clintonville.
South of North Broadway Street, housing stock is a mix of single and multiple family homes. The majority of these houses were built prior to 1930, and represent a variety of styles from basic American foursquare to other types of revival style architecture. The area is also home to many catalog (Sears, Montgomery Ward, Radford, etc.) kit homes. These neighborhoods were also initially developed as "streetcar" developments, the intention being that most residents would rely upon the High Street streetcar lines to travel to downtown Columbus. Garages for the earliest developed streets are accessed via alleys behind the properties.
North Clintonville.
North Clintonville is a generalized area inside of the Clintonville neighborhood. Its boundaries are based either on the old City of Columbus Boundaries, or more modernly North Broadway. Per the old City of Columbus boundary: Overbrook Ravine to the north, Big Four railroad tracks to the east, Orchard Lane and roughly Oakland Park Avenue to the south, and the Olentangy River to the west. Per the modern interpretation: Overbrook Ravine to the north, North Broadway Street to the south, and the Olentangy River to the west. While often referred to as North Clintonville, it is the central section of Clintonville area. It is noted for the progression in architectural styles and lifestyle considerations from the 1920s through the late 1950s. Houses in this portion of Clintonville were built as higher end properties, lack alleyways and contain driveways as a nod to the increasing importance to the role of the automobile. Developments and subdivisions located in this area are: Indian Springs, Northridge, Dominion Park, Northmoor, Brevoort Place, North Broadway Street and Woodland Crest.
Beechwold.
Beechwold is a neighborhood within the Clintonville Area Commission boundaries. Named for the Jeffrey family summer estate on North High Street and the post office placed in the area following growth of Clintonville, the larger Beechwold Area has greatly varying definitions, but at a minimum it is the collection of at least four subdivision plats. These four plats are: Beechwold (1915), Beechwold Addition (1919), Beechwold South (1902) and Beechwold South Amendment (1922). The section of commonly known as East Beechwold contains the subdivisions of Zooland and Highland Gardens. Through inclusion of East Beechwold, the larger Beechwold area is then loosely defined as the area Rathbone Avenue to the north, I-71 to the east, West Weisheimer Road to the south, and the Olentangy River to the west.

Its boundaries are, according to the entry on the National Register, roughly bounded by West Jeffrey Place to the north, North High Street to the east, River Park Drive to the south, and Olentangy Boulevard to the west. This description fits with the historic maps to include Beechwold (1915) and Beechwold Addition (1919) subdivisions.
East Beechwold.
East Beechwold comprises the Zooland (1905) and Highland Gardens (1913, 1915) subdivisions, and as such is bounded by Morse Road to the north, I-71 to the east, Weisheimer Road to the south, and North High Street to the west.

Just to the west of Franklinton is a group of smaller neighborhoods commonly referred to as "Hilltop."
Areas of Franklinton include South Franklinton and East Franklinton.
Hilltop and Greater Hilltop.

The majority of students who live there attend Franklin Heights High School. Riverbend has been in decline due to the aging homes where now many are rented out, losing the sense of community.
Westgate is a community within the Hilltop area of Columbus, Ohio. It was constructed partially on land formerly housing the American Civil War Camp Chase and Confederate prison.

Northcrest is a neighborhood on the northwest side of the city. It is bounded by Bethel Road on the north, Reed Road on the east, West Henderson Road on the south, and Woodrun Boulevard on the west.
Mill Run.
This neighborhood is bounded by I-270 on the west, Cemetery and Hilliard Cemetery Rds. on the north, Smiley Rd. on the east, and Dinsmore Castle Rd. and the nearby railroad track on the south.
Linworth.
Linworth is the historical name for the area in and around the intersection of State Route 161 and Linworth Road, bordered on the west by Brookside Estates and the OSU airport and on the east by State Route 315. The area received its name due to its location, between Dublin (dub-"lin") and Worthington ("worth"-ington). The west part of Linworth is now in Columbus, and the east part (home to the Linworth Alternative Program school) is in Worthington.
Olentangy.
Olentangy is a neighborhood that takes its name from the Olentangy River. Also called West Olentangy and Olentangy River Road, it is generally bordered by West North Broadway Street on the north, the Olentangy River on the east, West Lane Avenue on the south, and Upper Arlington on the west.
Olentangy Commons.
Olentangy Commons is a planned development residential area which is located in northwest Columbus, Ohio. The nearby areas surrounding the original 65-acre (263,045 square meters) site of the Olentangy Commons Apartments have been developed into commercial and residential neighborhoods.
Seagrave.
This was a small area centered on the intersection of West Lane Avenue and Kenny Road on what is now the West Campus of the Ohio State University. Although much of the neighborhood was demolished to make way for State Route 315, a few buildings remain.
San Margherita.
San Margherita is an unincorporated neighborhood that may be in danger of vanishing. Though most of the locally owned businesses in the neighborhood have been demolished to make way for widening roads and commercial development, the remaining houses in San Margherita still retain their original character. Most of the simple homes sit on an acre (4,000 m2) of land, giving it a somewhat rural feeling, and backyard vineyards planted by the original residents are still maintained today.
Harrison West.
Harrison West is a historic, urban neighborhood located north and near west of downtown Columbus, Ohio. The neighborhood character is similar to the better-known Victorian Village just to the east. The area is bounded by Harrison Avenue on the east (which runs parallel to Neil Avenue), Goodale on the South, 5th Avenue on the North, and Olentangy River Road to the west (including "Gowdy Field"). In January 2008, the neighborhood expanded to include all of "Thurber Village" to the south east.
Developed from the Neil Farm in the early 20th century, Harrison West is characterized by Victorian and Edwardian-style homes, although the housing stock is generally more modest than the grand homes found in Victorian Village proper. Frame houses are more common than brick.
The Harrison West neighborhood area experienced urban decline throughout much of the late 20th century. Just south of Harrison West, the similar "Flytown" was destroyed during "slum clearance" in the 1960s and replaced by Interstate 670 and the "James Thurber Village" apartment and business area. Redevelopment and gentrification spreading from Victorian Village closer to downtown has transformed the area in the last two decades, accelerating with the demolition of industrial sites along the Olentangy River.
Today some of the homes have been split into rented apartments, while others remain as historical landmarks. Still others have since been purchased and restored to their original style. Numerous original houses of poor quality have been demolished and replaced with new construction in the same urban style. The Battelle Memorial Institute, a major employer, at one time owned numerous rental properties and, concerned about urban blight on its doorstep, became actively involved in area redevelopment in the 1980s.
Conversion of a former factory site into a complex of single-family homes, flats and lofts is completing the improvement of the neighborhood into a desirable location. Life in the neighborhood centers on commercial properties along 3rd Avenue, which roughly bisects the neighborhood. Included in the development is a clubhouse that serves as the new home for the Carpe Diem String Quartet's performances.
The neighborhood was not originally intended as a separate district, but was constituted from the urban area excluded from the "Victorian Village Architectural Review" in 1974. A neighborhood association founded in 1976, like others in Columbus, advocates for city services and community projects. Current projects include water quality issues in the Olentangy River and maintenance of the Olentangy bike trail and the neighborhood parks, including a new river Park.

It is bordered by East North Broadway Street on the north and West Lane Avenue on the south. It is bisected by Olentangy River Road, Ackerman Road, and West Dodridge Street.
University District.
Dennison Place/The Circles.
Dennison Place is one of the neighborhoods that comprise the University District area of Columbus. It is located north of Victorian Village, south of NECKO and the Peach District, which collectively are considered to be the South Campus off-campus area of the Ohio State University. Its boundaries consist of King Avenue to the north, North High Street to the east, West Fifth Avenue to the south, and Perry Street to the west.
The land that Dennison Place now sits on was originally provided to Jonathan Dayton (US Representative, NJ, and namesake for Dayton, OH) in March 1800 by the United States Government. In 1802, Dayton sold the land to John Hunter and the land remained in this family until at least 1826. At this time, which was after John's passing, the Hunter family partitioned the land and there were several ownership changes until 1852. At this time, the land was conveyed to William and Anne Dennison by Anne's parents, Hannah and William Neil. As early as 1875, this area was now being referenced as Dennison Place and by the mid-1880s, development was in full force. Several of the previous owners' names still linger in the neighborhood as well in the streets such as Neil and Hunter avenues.
The area began to decline in the 1930s as Columbus expanded and people began to move away from the inner streetcar neighborhoods to the new suburbs accessible by car. By the time the decline bottomed out in the 1970s, many of the original homes had been converted to rooming houses, knocked down to make room for apartment buildings, or simply abandoned and boarded up.
Around this time, the city of Columbus began implementing neighborhood preservation policies and new zoning prevented further destruction of the neighborhood. By the 1980s, home restoration was ramping up and over a couple decades this process has led to the complete revitalization of the neighborhood to where it stands today.
The housing in Dennison Place remains mostly a mixture of Victorian-style construction from the late 1800s, including Queen Anne, Italianate and Grand Victorian homes. While some of these homes remain multi-family, Dennison Place has a high rate of owner occupancy that continues as families continue to move in and call Dennison their home. While there are a few apartment buildings around to remind people of a darker time for the neighborhood, the restoration of most of the homes to their former glory brings a traditional charm to Dennison.
Unlike the other Short North neighborhoods, Dennison Place does not have its own neighborhood commission. Instead, it is currently part of the University Area Commission, which also represents several other near-campus neighborhoods.
The neighborhood has a diverse group of residents and is home to a handful of small businesses, including an art gallery, a music education studio, two hair salons, eateries (including two separate taco trucks), a convenience store, an import beer carry-out, an auto repair shop, and several churches.
Glen Echo.
Glen Echo is a neighborhood located in the far northern part of the University District in Columbus, Ohio. The name "Glen Echo" refers to the Glen Echo Ravine, which runs along the northern edge of the neighborhood.
Streets.
Principal North/South streets in the eastern portion of the area are North Fourth Street, Glenmawr Avenue, Summit Street, Glen Echo Drive, and the bounding Indianola Avenue. East/West principal streets include Cliffside Drive, Arcadia Avenue, and the bounding Hudson Street.
North Fouth Street, Glenmawr Avenue, and Summmit Street each at an original 1900-1909 stone guardrail placed to prevent early drivers in the neighborhood from accidentally driving over the rim of the ravine at night.
The western portion of the neighborhood contains a disconnected section of the East/West Cliffside Drive, the north side of Arcadia Avenue, and one-block segments of Deming Avenue, Dayton Avenue, Hibbert Avenue, and Calumet Street. 
One additional street, Parkview Drive, was built in the ravine basin analogously to other nearby basin streets such as Overbrook Drive, Torrance Road, Walhalla Road, West Tulane Road, Iuka Avenue, and East 17th Avenue. Parkview Drive was the only fully internal road in the neighborhood to directly connect the Eastern and Western sections of the neighborhood straight through across Indianola Avenue. Cliffside Drive does not cross Indianola Avenue, and while Arcadia Avenue does, it is the southern bounding street in the western portion of the neighborhood and not internal there.
Parkview Drive originated at the northern end of North Fourth Street, and the route down the ravine wall into the basin is lined with another original pre-1909 stone guardrail. The ravine floor itself surrounding this road between Fourth Street and Indianola Avenue consisted of a public park, while a pair of spur routes climbed out of the ravine on the North side of Glen Echo Run to connect to land plots south of an old rail spur that followed the northern edge of the modern ravine park. These spur routes are largely dirt hiking trails today. An additional spur route connected to an alley running behind houses sandwiched between the north side of the ravine and the rail spur. The street featured an underpass beneath Indianola Avenue, which today is the local landmark known as the Bird Tunnel. The remaining segment of the street followed a mostly narrow ravine floor surrounded by private residences on both sides. 
Of Parkview Drive and its surroundings, a 1909 Ohio State publication described the new north side park as a place of beauty where large oak and elm trees shaded a wading pond, five small lakes connected by a single stream, rustic benches, foot bridges and springs lined with cobblestones. Glen Echo's picturesque environs hosted picnic dinners, equestrians and motorists who enjoyed this oasis of greenery.
While the route was and is sufficiently picturesque that this park is still in heavy use today, there were problems with the route’s suitability for street carriage. The rail spur connected to a factory for the production of ceramic and stone sewer pipes which stood on the present-day site of Dominion Middle School. The rail spur substantially predated the street, and was connected across the ravine by building a landfill bridge using the backfill collected during the grading of the route. Because of this solid land bridge, the street could not be completed along the remaining length of the ravine to High Street like the other ravine basin roads without undertaking the massive expense and disruption of closing the rail spur to remove all of the landfill and reconstruct the rail spur as a proper spanning bridge, and instead had to curve back to meet Arcadia Avenue at the eastern edge of the factory grounds (today’s Dominion Middle School grounds). This segment of the street still exists today as a portion of Calumet Street. Partially because of this issue, unlike the aforementioned ravine basin streets which persist on Columbus’s street grid today, Parkview Drive did not come to its terminus by climbing uphill along a final broadly landfilled section of the ravine, instead climbing up the sheer and relatively loose cliff face of soil and shale on the southern side of the ravine as it approached the pipe factory.
The Calumet Street bridge over the ravine was built in the mid-1920s around the same time as North High School (today’s Dominion Middle School), and formed a 4-way intersection between the bridge, the old segment of Parkview Drive which had been reappropriated as a connecting segment of Calumet Street, and Cliffside Drive which followed along the south rim of the ravine. During this time, the rail spur was removed in order to regrade the land adjacent to the South abutment of the Calumet Street bridge to make the land contours smoother for drivers taking this route. The landfill bridge that carried the rail spur was not removed and today exists as a footbridge connecting to the back grounds of a religious school on the north rim of the Ravine. 
Sometime before 1953, likely due to worsening erosion as the loose cliff face naturally receded, the section of Parkview Drive from the Indianola Avenue underpass to the endpoint at Calumet Street was permanently closed and completely abandoned. Stray old brick pavers, loose and degraded gravel, and fragmentary remains of some infrastructure associated with the street segment can still be seen today, and a significant portion of the abandoned section of the original route is still accessible by walking along Glen Echo run along the higher and usually dry sections of the present streambed and portions of the neighboring ravine basin floor. Some additional evidence of the street can be seen in the form of decades-old debris thrown by drivers into the ravine.
In 1975, on the recommendation of a watercourse planning report, the remaining segment of Parkview Drive connecting between 4th Street and the Indianola Avenue underpass was permanently closed and converted into the main trail for the park lining the ravine. Due to this closure, a final connecting spur which attached Parkview Drive to the north end of Glen Echo Drive along another minor ravine via an underpass beneath Arcadia Avenue was also closed. Unlike the main route of the street, this spur route was not maintained as part of the park’s infrastructure, and while still open to parkgoers, today it is in a state of severe disrepair with badly disintegrated pavement and numerous large holes in the street.
Today, this spur route, some of the easternmost dirt trails along the north side of the ravine, the Bird Tunnel, and the main path through Glen Echo Park are all that remains of Parkview Drive.
Homes.
Most of the homes in the Glen Echo neighborhood were built between 1909 and 1943 and include Craftsman-style bungalows, Shingle Style, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival, many with front and/or sleeping porches. Most homes, however, are not "high-style" structures and would be classified as either traditional American Four-Square or American vernacular in style. The homes are a mix of single and double units with a high home-owner occupancy rate. Grassy boulevards are features of Glenmawr Avenue and North Fourth Street. These elliptical islands are classified as parks with the Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks. Stone stanchions and street furniture are a hallmark of Glenmawr Avenue. The 1997 listing of the neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places was made based on the neighborhood's overall fabric as a middle-class development, rather than as a collection of high-style architecture.
Other Features.
A small plastic jar factory exists at the extreme southeast corner of the eastern neighborhood. 
A concentration of 5 apartment buildings exists at the southeast corner of Arcadia Avenue and Indianola Avenue, near the middle-west edge of the eastern neighborhood. An additional 2 apartment buildings exist at the southwest corner of Cliffside Drive and Indianola Avenue
A currently vacant commercial building exists at the northwest corner of Cliffside Drive and Indianola Avenue.
Glen Echo United Presbyterian Church occupies the corner where Parkview Drive used to meet Cliffside Drive and Calumet Street across from Dominion Middle School. 
The need to avoid passing through this neighborhood along with conflicting local streetcar traffic south of Arcadia Avenue on High Street led to the need to route an interurban streetcar route via a series of turns that shifted traffic first to Indianola Avenue and then to Summit Street on their way to the interurban terminal at the present site of the Columbus Commons. These interurban streetcars were the length of a large bus or small semi truck, and tracked the rails near each end with no articulation. Because of this, a series of street corners, namely those at the northeast corner of Arcadia Avenue and High Street, at the southwest corner of Arcadia Avenue and Indianola Avenue, at the northeast corner of Hudson Street and Indianola avenue, and at the southwest corner of Hudson Street and Summit Street were all rounded back significantly compared to other street corners in Columbus in order to accommodate the swing of these large vehicles. These swept corner curbs still exist today, giving the major intersections near this neighborhood an oddly unbalanced or less-than-straight appearance.
