Character

The character of 5th / 6th Avenue is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. Most locations in the neighborhood have reasonably good access to public green spaces, like The South Commons Sports and Entertainment Complex, since there are a few of them close by for residents to explore and getting to the closest park from most properties for sale is very easy. This part of Columbus is also fairly good for those who enjoy quiet surroundings, as the streets tend to be calm - although that is not the case near one of the railway lines.
