On a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the Short North Arts District, 915 Dennison Avenue recently sold for $265,000 — a two-bedroom, one-bath Victorian Village home with 1,050 square feet, original hardwood floors, and an updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances. An unfinished basement offers room for storage, a home gym, or future finishing, while the property's location and layout made it appealing to both owner-occupants and investors targeting one of Columbus's most in-demand rental corridors.
Life in Victorian Village
Victorian Village sits just north of the Short North and Downtown Columbus, prized for its brick streets, restored 19th-century homes, and easy walk to High Street's restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. Goodale Park anchors the neighborhood with green space and community events, while quick access to I-670 keeps commutes across Central Ohio simple. It's a neighborhood that continues to draw a mix of first-time buyers, young professionals, and investors who all want the same thing: a walkable urban lifestyle without a long commute.
What This Sale Says About Entry-Level Demand
A $265,000 sale price for a well-located two-bedroom home highlights just how competitive Columbus's entry-level market remains in 2026. With the metro median sale price near $350,000 and mortgage rates still elevated in the 6.5 to 7.2 percent range, smaller, walkable homes like this one continue to attract strong interest from buyers priced out of larger properties, as well as investors drawn to Victorian Village's strong rental demand near Ohio State University and the Short North. Homes in this price range and location routinely see multiple offers when priced correctly.
