More About Glen Echo

Glen Echo is a small pocket neighborhood in North Columbus just north of E. Hudson St. and along Indianola Avenue north of Old North Columbus and Tuttle Park and south of central Clintonville and North Lindeshen. It's just off Interstate 71 close to N. High St. with shops and restaurants, services, and amenities.

It's nestled in the far northern part of the University District and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The name refers to Glen Echo Ravine running along the northern edge of the neighborhood. It originated in 1909 when the Columbus Real Estate and Improvement Company plotted 47 acres as Indianola Parkview for a master-planned residential community. At the time the Glen Echo Ravine was turned into a park, which influenced the original layout and character of the neighborhood. In 1909, an Ohio State publication described the park as a place of beauty where large elm and oak trees shaded a small pond and five little lakes connected by a single stream. There were benches and footbridges, cobblestones, and trails in this picturesque environment were perfect for picnickers, horseback riders, and even motorists to enjoy the oasis of scenery. In 1910, Glen Echo was annexed to the city of Columbus and the park was dedicated to the city in 1912.

Today, you'll find many of the older homes still gracing many of the streets that were built between 1909 and 1943. You'll find American craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor revival, Colonial, and American foursquare homes. There's a mix of single-family units as well as duplexes and stones stanchions and street furniture are hallmarks of the community.
