Clintonville & Beechwold Ohio
Clintonville, originally called Clinton Township, was named after vice president George Clinton, and was centered on what is now known as High Street. Many of the buildings have a rich historical past including Clinton Chapel (now a funeral home) which is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Clintonville and served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. The local Post Office built in the center of town in 1850, was designated the "Clintonville branch", giving the little community its name. Around the turn of the century, residents of Columbus and the faculty of the Ohio State University began building summer homes here, and permanent homes in the areas around the ravines and the Olentangy River. With the advent of the automobile, over 80 subdivisions were built, and families moved into thousands of new homes. Clintonville is loaded with charm and character, with many of the homes dating back to the teens and 20’s building boom, and the secondary housing boom in the late 40’s and early 50’s. Mature trees are standard, as are sidewalks. Homes range from charming to stately, filled with old-world details like custom woodwork, high ceilings, and hardwood floors. Clintonville & Beechwold encourage strolling since they are within easy walking distance to shopping, food, and entertainment. This lifestyle results in the friendly neighborliness of days gone by. Many of the businesses on and near High Street are family-owned by residents. There are a large number of restaurants, coffee shops, antique shops, and quirky little storefronts selling everything from thimbles to Gaelic lessons.
Of the many parks in these two neighborhoods, the crown jewel is the Whetstone Park of Roses, which includes a recreation facility, library, sports fields, a bandstand, an amazing Rose garden, pond, hiking/biking trails, and pristine views of the Olentangy River. The Olentangy Bike Path links a series of parks, from downtown Columbus to Worthington, making it a popular weekend recreation spot. Schools are Columbus Public schools, and are attended by neighborhood children, many of whom walk to school, giving a small-town feel to this community. The Ohio State University is just to the South of Clintonville, and the Pontifical College Josephinum is to the North, Ohio School for the Deaf, and the Ohio State School for the Blind are also here. Clintonville and Beechwold also boast easy access to I-71 and S.R. 315, which leaves them only minutes from downtown Columbus, and major shopping areas like Easton, Polaris and Tuttle Malls. They offer the best of both worlds: a close-knit community with a village feel, and a sophisticated community in the state Capitol with access to all “Big City” amenities.

Settled in 1803 by a group of Connecticut and Massachusetts families lead by James Kilbourne, the village is a classic square design. It was built around a central public square, which is still in use today for band concerts, festivals, and community events. The charming "Old Worthington" business district includes an 1808 commercial building built by Kilbourne, believed to be the oldest such building in continuous commercial use in Ohio. Worthington values and preserves its New England charm, filling the downtown area with thriving shops, museums, and a quaint Inn, that promote that village atmosphere. With the air of an early nineteenth century village, it is a place where people walk from shop to shop, greeting neighbors, enjoying ice cream or coffee at outdoor tables. Worthington is a friendly and comfortable place to make a home. Excellence is the word to describe Worthington, from the lush parks, quiet tree lined streets, convenient shopping, entertainment, and the warm and friendly community feeling.
