What shapes a project in Columbus
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Newer stock than most Ohio cities
ACS 2024 estimates put the median year built for Columbus housing at 1982. About 27 percent of units were built in 2000 or later and about 12 percent before 1940, so many projects update homes from the 1980s through the 2000s.
Detached homes, townhomes and apartments
About 44 percent of Columbus housing units are detached single-family homes and about 10 percent are attached single-family homes such as townhomes. Shared walls and association rules shape how work is scheduled and staged in attached homes.
Historic commissions in older neighborhoods
The German Village, Italian Village and Victorian Village commissions and the Historic Resources Commission review exterior alterations, demolition and new construction in their areas. Owners there may need a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work starts.
