King Ave, Dennison Place

I visited King Avenue when I was down at OSU. King Avenue is lined with very nice homes. Most of them are older Victorian homes, but also newer ones too. There is a a historic feel to it and it is an overall nice area. The homes are owned by families, but some are now being rented to college students. This gives the street a nice mix of personalities and a lot of energy during football season.

Many of the houses on King Avenue are Victorian--large, old, with tall ceilings. While there are a lot of them that are student housing for the university, there are many as well that have been bought by couples and families. King Avenue is conveniently located near OSU and Batelle, as well as OSU's extensive hospital and health care system, so there are plenty of opportunities for jobs that are within walking distance. Also, it is convenient to live on King Ave. if you are a student at OSU. Within walking distance is Olentangy River Road and at the conjunction of King and Olentangy are restaurants and a large shopping center (Lennox) with a Target, a Staples, and a Barnes and Noble.
