Upcoming for Franklinton?

Question

Hello everyone, I recently noticed drug use near my property in Franklinton. I'm curious if there are any future plans for this neighborhood beyond developments like the Gravities, Bottoms Up, and other breweries. Is gentrification happening quickly here, and is the area becoming safer?

Hey Julie, in Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story venue.

@Julie Philpott Franklinton is a very gentrifying neighborhood. Many houses and duplexes that have been fully redone as well as some that are still owner occupied that will get redone when purchased. The deals east of 315 are very rare. The deals west of 315 and east of Glenwood Ave are B/B- range depending on the street they're on. West of Glenwood is still in the works and can be C/C+ depending on the street and what's going on around it. It's a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in Columbus that is also similar to Southern Orchards. Great neighborhoods to BRRRR in or find something that has been redone/already turnkey.

Franklinton is undergoing rapid transformation, with developments like The Gravity Projects, new breweries, and an expanding arts district driving change.

Safety and Future Outlook:

• Increased Investments: New developments bring better lighting, public spaces, and infrastructure, naturally improving safety.
• Community Growth: More residents and businesses create activity, discouraging crime and boosting the neighborhood's vibrancy.
• Police and Outreach: Enhanced patrols and local organizations address crime and substance issues.

While challenges remain, ongoing investments and gentrification make Franklinton safer and more attractive. The area is poised for continued improvement.

Hi @Julie Philpott it depends where you are in Franklinton to feel the full effects of those new developments. If you’re in East Franklinton then yes, you’ll experience a good amount of change based on new developments. If you’re west of 315 then not so much in the near future.
