Upper Arlington is a dynamic community, made successful by the many involved citizens, businesses, and civic groups who recognize and support the values and traditions that serve as our strong foundation. Quaint tree-lined streets and historical homes are the draws to UA living. Local shops and boutiques line several areas of the city. The newly revamped school is akin to a small college campus while maintaining a small-town feel. Community draws include an unmatched 4th of July celebration, sponsored by the UA Civic Association. Other community events include farm market Wednesdays, Music on the Lawn, a Memorial Day run. The proximity to downtown being within 12 minutes makes this one of the premier cities in the NW Columbus area.
