7 Fun Facts about Living in Columbus

Ohio may not seem like a very exciting destination to some people, but Columbus is actually counted among the top 20 largest cities in the United States, which means that you needn't worry that moving to Columbus will be isolated, boring or humdrum. Although living in Columbus may never be quite as fast-paced as living in Philadelphia or Austin, there are plenty of interesting things to do and see in the city, and plenty of reasons to love living in Columbus. Here are some of my favorite facts about Columbus - I hope they give you a reason to smile:

1. 50% of the US population lives within a 500 mile radius of Columbus. This will be particularly helpful if your friends and family are not moving to Columbus with you.
2. Multi-platinum musicians the Rascal Flatts hail from Columbus (see, it is possible to be cool even while living in Columbus).
3. The cost of living in Columbus is approximately 13.65% lower than living elsewhere in the United States.
4. Columbus is the home to a large alternative lifestyle community and is considered one of the best places for gays and lesbians to live (although San Francisco has the highest percentage of LGBTs in the nation).
5. Although this is not one of the most surprising facts about Columbus, it is important to point out that Columbus is subject to all types of weather conditions including tornadoes, floods and severe heat. Check with your Columbus movers to determine which season is the best for moving to Columbus...and make sure to pack a proper wardrobe.
6. Columbus is the 16th largest city in the United States, but it is only the 38th most dangerous city, according to a 2009 study.
7. Because Columbus has a varied population that is reflective of the diversity of the greater United States, the city is often used as a test market for new products and ideas.

Finally, it's worthwhile to note that while Jacksonville may not be close to theme parks like San Diego or Los Angeles are, it offers numerous local attractions that are noteworthy (and extremely affordable!). Huguenot Memorial Park has extremely cheap admission fees ($1 per person, or $3 for a car of up to 6 people). The park offers a bird observatory, a recreational beach, picnic areas, surfing areas, swimming and fishing. Riverwalk offers 1.2 miles of shops, museums and eateries, each with a gorgeous view of the St. Johns River. Friendship Park and Fountain is one of the world's tallest fountains, with is eye-catching during the day and truly breathtaking at night.

Exploring your options for housing and recreational activities before you move to Jacksonville will give you a good idea of what to expect upon your arrival, and will increase your excitement about living in Jacksonville. But even if you don't have time for a trip in advance, this guide should give you some things to look forward to. Enjoy living in Jacksonville!
