Neighborhood Tour: Upper Arlington, Ohio

Mar 30

Posted by

If you’ve ever been to Columbus, Ohio, I sure hope you were able to go to the Upper Arlington neighborhood. The beautiful architecture of the homes includes several styles of Tudor as well as Storybook Cottage. Whenever we tour the neighborhood, there are many gasps heard  in the car, probably not from my husband or son, as much as by my daughter-in-law and me, as we come upon one beautiful home after another. From cottages to mansions, they’re all fit together into this handsomely maintained district that one of our sons and his wonderful wife have called home for the past few years.

Our daughter-in-law was kind enough on this last visit to drive me and my camera around the neighborhood so I could share a few of these ‘cottages’ with you. There are soooooo many, it was really difficult to choose, but as you’ll see on a few of the captions, there may have been just some feature I couldn’t pass up.

Hope you can get just a glimpse of the beauty of this neighborhood with this little tour of pics I’ve put together for you…

This shows just a small part of the whole house which is bordered by this brook and has a bridge for access.

Several homes have a mixture of treatments like this home with stone and shingle siding.

So many arches, on windows, on doorways…

And even on attic windows.

Arches on copper awnings too.  And so many slate roofs…love it!

Just a simple hanging lantern, beautiful!

And the neighborhood is full of lots and lots and lots of stone fences and hedges.

I love this painted brick.

This is the gorgeous entrance to a huge home.

This ivy covered home looks like a postcard.

Just simply Tudor.

Isn’t the detail on this brick so pretty? Do they even do brick detail like that anymore?

And the tour is never complete without stopping by the impressive, ‘I-can’t-count-that-many-square-feet-or-get-it-all-in-my-camera-house’ did I say impressive? Well here it is, (or most of it):

This stone beauty just rambles on and on, yet somehow doesn’t look ostentatious… well…for the most part. ;)

In my love of creating well functioning spaces that are beautiful to exist in, I've found there are always new possibilities for rooms. It doesn’t take a huge amount of money to make a fabulous place, but instead it's all about how to creatively decorate with a little bit to accomplish it.

    These homes are so beautiful! My parents built custom homes until my Dad passed, so I really have missed the days of looking at pretty houses and neighborhoods! Thanks for sharing!

    When our DD lived in Columbus (well, actually Marion) I don’t remember driving through this neighborhood — but I do remember the neighborhoods close to downtown especially the German area with those wonderful houses and that great German restaurant!

    I love driving through Upper Arlington too! We always plan a detour when we have business that direction. Never thought of taking my camera — will do that next time.

    Yep, they are beautiful! I live in Westerville, about 15 mins from here. You have to have some big bucks to live in Upper Arlington! But, it is a beautiful addition to Columbus! Thanks for sharing!

    This neighborhood reminds me and my daughter/blog partner who is visiting this week-end of her neighborhood in Syracuse, NY and my neighborhood here in Lexington, KY.

    Hope the woman of the house has a cleaning person for that last house especially. Would sure love to get to tour those homes to see how they decorate. Would be a worthwhile trip to see that neighborhood. Thanks for sharing.
