About Columbus, OH

Columbus is the capital of Ohio and the largest city in the state. With a population of 2,138,926 in the Columbus Metro area, it is second in size on the list of Midwestern towns compared to the largest Midwestern city, Chicago.

This city is best known for its origins as a “cow town” due to its focus on agriculture in the early days. However, it transcended that label, and now, Columbus is a vibrant contemporary metropolis.

The city held thousands of foreclosed, vacant properties After the real estate market collapsed from 2008 to 2010. This problem motivated a downtown revitalization that included creating the Columbus Commons Park, a reshaped riverfront along the Scioto Mile, and developments in the Arena District and Franklinton.
