Clintonville

leafy residential · 43202

Clintonville is what happens when a leafy residential grid north of campus grows up, gets a co-op, and stops apologizing for the Subaru. High Street north of Hudson runs past Studio 35, Global Gallery, and enough porch-light bungalows to make the dating pool skew toward people who own their bookshelves. Tradeoffs: the walkable stretches concentrate near Como and Weber, and the dating density thins fast once you cross Morse. Best for the runner-yoga-bookstore crowd in their early thirties; less productive if you want a dense bar crawl or strangers at a counter. Bring a dog. The dog helps.
