Who We Are
Curving, tree-lined streets; large lots; and stately homes from the 1920s and 30s are the hallmarks of this prestigious community first settled in 1918. More contemporary architecture, smaller residences, and rental properties are also plentiful. Whatever type of home they live in, all 34,000 residents benefit from the city's exceptional public services, which include a top-ranked school system, and free recycling and leaf collection.
Recreational opportunities abound in Upper Arlingtons 33 city parks, senior center, three swimming pools, and a bike trail linking the city to neighboring Ohio State University. The city's Recreation Division organizes athletic teams and a wide variety of activities for all ages.
Upper Arlington's central location makes it very convenient to downtown, the airport, and all of greater Columbus.
