Resident 2005 - 2011

3/13/2011

I've been a Clintonville Commons resident for a number of years now, and have been generally pleased with my decision. At first, I chose this complex because of its location on the COTA bus line (covered bus stop immediately in front of the buildings), proximity to the library, Whetstone Park, and relatively inexpensive rent. And it's an apartment complex in Clintonville - a part of town that lacks an overabundance of rental complexes. And those same assets are what have kept me a resident all these years later. Yes, I've looked at alternatives each time my lease has come up for renewal. (Including one year when I'd had it with some particularly noisy neighbors upstairs.) But each year, I renewed. Why? You can't beat the location and landlord attentiveness for this price point (~$600/month - 2 BR) in this part of Columbus. Period. Look, it's not the Miranova luxury condo development downtown. It's standard 1950s era apartment amenities, with some updates. And there have been times that I wished my place was bigger (that's when I tell myself that I'm living a very European / Scandanavian existence in smaller quarters). And having to unlock the outside door with an arm of groceries in the rain can get old really fast. But then I walk outside to Northstar Cafe (1 1/2 blocks north) or to Whetstone Park of Roses (~ 1,000 feet due west). And I cut my relatively small rent check each month. And my landlord sends the (very nice) maintenance guy to fix something the same day that I called in the request. And then I am reminded why this is home.
