Powell
Powell is the Columbus suburb that grew up and got a Whole Foods. Top-rated Olentangy schools, cul-de-sac calm, and a historic downtown stretch around Liberty Street that tries gamely to be a destination, anchored by Local Cantina, Prohibition Gastro Lounge, and the Columbus Zoo just up Powell Road. The dating pool skews married-with-kids and recently-divorced-with-kids. If you are single and under 35 without a stroller, you will feel it. Honest tradeoff: you get the safest streets, the best schools, and the dullest Friday nights in the metro. Most actual dating happens down 315 in the Short North.
