Upper Arlington
Upper Arlington is what happens when a streetcar suburb grows up, gets a graduate degree, and decides the lawn matters. The housing stock skews older and pricier than Dublin's, the school district is the one parents move for, and the dating pool tilts toward tenured professors, OSU Medical Center attendings, and the occasional Nationwide VP who wanted to walk to Tremont Road. The tradeoff is obvious: you pay for the zip code, the sidewalks, and the proximity to campus without living in the noise. Restaurant Row on Lane Avenue handles first dates. Expect quiet streets and loud opinions about school levies.
