Furnished 2-Bedroom Homes Minutes From Grandview Yard
The Griff offers fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath apartments leased as complete homes, with select floor plans now available on full-apartment pricing, positioned in the Fifth by Northwest neighborhood with a short drive to Grandview Yard, OSU's West Campus, and OSU Wexner Medical Center.
The Griff sits on Steelwood Road in the Fifth by Northwest neighborhood, a corridor of Columbus wedged between Grandview Heights and OSU's West Campus. The address is a short walk to a Kroger and Northwest Plaza retail, and sits close to SR 315, the highway that runs the length of the Olentangy River corridor connecting Grandview Yard, OSU's medical campus, and downtown Columbus in one continuous shot.
Two-bedroom apartments in Columbus average roughly $1,442 to $1,659 per month citywide, and the Tri-Village and Grandview-adjacent submarket around The Griff tends to price above that citywide figure given its proximity to Grandview Yard's offices and retail. Select two-bedroom, two-bath homes at The Griff are available with full-apartment pricing starting at approximately $1,970 per month furnished, an entry point into a corridor that otherwise commands a premium.
On a typical weekday, OSU's West Campus, home to the colleges of engineering and agriculture, is about a 4-minute drive north. Grandview Yard's offices and retail are roughly a 7-minute drive down SR 315, and OSU Wexner Medical Center is about 10 minutes up the same corridor. A COTA stop at the property, served by routes that run directly to campus, rounds out the options for renters who'd rather not drive every day.
