….Matt and I are moving to Columbus, Ohio! We are freaking out a little because we are moving him there in just one short week! I am finishing my school year and then joining him.
After four years here, it’s going to be hard to leave Richmond…this is where we first called home as newlyweds, life is certainly never dull here, but most importantly, we have made so many great friends here.
We are getting Matt a short term apartment to give us time to find a house. We drove up there last weekend and I think that was the first time I had ever been there aside from the turnpike. We need your help if you are familiar with the area AT ALL! We looked at houses in German Village, Westgate, and Short North. And by looked I mean we drove by since our focus really had to be on getting him an apartment. If you know the area, which is better? He is working in Grove City, so would need something around there…any thoughts would be much appreciated!
On the bright side…we will be closer to family! We are actually really excited for this move and has been in the works for awhile…it has been a struggle being so far from our families.
Words of wisdom are much appreciated on all fronts!
In the meantime, get excited because Richmond Treats is now just a smidge closer to Kansas City Eats!
Love,
Erin

The neighborhoods you’ve looked at are great but VERY expensive. I recommend Grandview Heights. It can be very competitive getting a house, but it can be done. It’s on the west side which would help with a grove city commute but it’s also close to downtown. Great school district, old houses with character, and awesome bars and restaurants.
Thank you SO much! Great advice and great timing…we are headed out to look at houses tomorrow! Have a great day!
There’s also clintonville, which is similar to grandview but with more of a hippie vibe. The commute would be a little longer to grove city and clintonville is Columbus city schools (though I’ve heard the school in that neighborhood is great). Good luck! I LOVE Columbus!
Yay! Thank you! We are getting very excited! We will definitely add that to the list!
Just saw that you are a teacher as well! I am one too! Found your blog through One Fine Day. Sorry to bombard you with comments- I’m excited to find someone that I have some things in common with! Good luck with the house hunting.
How exciting!! So great that you found us! Love getting to know people through the blog!
