Fifth By Northwest (5xNW)

Fifth By Northwest (5xNW) is one of Columbus’ newest urban neighborhoods. Often thought of as part of Grandview Heights, it’s actually located in Columbus-proper. Comprised primarily of single professionals, young families, and empty nesters, 5xNW boasts sleek contemporary residences such as The Windsor, Lennox Flats, and Tribeca.

A number of entrepreneurs and small businesses including local favorites Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Fortin Ironworks, and Fortner Fine Furnishings span the neighborhood, along with nearly 70 innovative technology start-ups housed within Rev1 Ventures. Numerous gourmet and award-winning stops are interspersed here making it the perfect place for lunch, an afternoon stroll, or a special evening out.

Enjoy a delicious meal at any number of excellent restaurants – Aab India, Dewey’s Pizza, Mazah, Sweet Carrot, or Yats – many of which have patio seating for central Ohio summers and game watching in the fall. There are options for happy hour, too, including Byrne’s Pub, Woodland’s Tavern, and Press Pub on 5th.
