Upper Arlington
LIFESTYLE SCORE 92
Tree-lined streets, refined residential architecture, and a country club tradition.
Tree-lined streets, established neighborhoods, beautiful parks, a country club lifestyle, highly regarded schools, and refined residential architecture define Upper Arlington — one of Central Ohio's most enduring addresses.
History & character
Developed beginning in 1913 as a planned 'Country Club District,' Upper Arlington was designed around curving streets, mature trees, and architectural consistency.
Market trends
Land value continues to rise, with new construction resetting comparables on established streets while renovated originals hold strong.
CARSON'S PERSPECTIVE
Upper Arlington is a market where the lot often matters as much as the house. Teardown-and-rebuild activity is real, so understanding which streets support new construction values is critical. For buyers, the original Tudors north of Lane offer character that simply cannot be replicated at today's build costs.
