Just off the Short North's High Street corridor, 402 W 7th Avenue recently sold for $725,000 — a 1913 four-bedroom, three-bath home with 2,593 square feet, a two-car garage, and the kind of front-porch presence that defines this stretch of Columbus's 43201 zip code. With three chimneys, deep window trim, and a classic covered porch, the home reflects the early-1900s architecture that gives the Short North and Italian Village their character, while offering the space and bedroom count families increasingly look for close to Downtown.
Life Near the Short North and Italian Village
W 7th Avenue sits at the edge of the Short North and Italian Village, two of Columbus's most walkable close-in neighborhoods. Residents here trade suburban square footage for brick streets, front porches, and a short walk to High Street's restaurants, galleries, and the monthly Gallery Hop. Downtown Columbus, the Arena District, and Goodale Park are all minutes away, making this pocket of 43201 a consistent draw for buyers who want an easy commute without giving up historic character.
What This Sale Says About the 43201 Market
A $725,000 sale for a four-bedroom home reinforces just how much demand remains for larger historic properties close to Downtown Columbus. Citywide, the median sale price has climbed to roughly $350,000 as of mid-2026, but homes in 43201's Short North-adjacent streets routinely sell well above that figure when they offer real bedroom count and updated systems. With mortgage rates holding in the 6.5 to 7.2 percent range, buyers have grown more selective, yet homes like this one, offering space, character, and walkability, continue to attract strong interest and sell at a premium to the broader market.
