Columbus residents?

I also live in Columbus.
Some other options to look at are Grandview which is like Upper Arlington (as Rain Man suggested) but on a smaller scale.

Actually, Ladylike, I was thinking Grandview, but Upper Arlington came out of my keyboard. Thanx for the correction/clarification.

You could also consider the "Short North" which is also close to campus. If you are an OSU student you will be in good company because plenty of undergrad/grad students live in the area.

Some parts of the Short North is a'ight (read: fairly decent), but a considerable part of the Short North is, well, ghetto-esque. Try Victorian Village along Neil Ave. and runs right into OSU. That is considerably better.

Another shopping option is Polaris Fashion Place (mall) which has Saks, Lazarus-Macy's (a rung or two below Saks) and possibly Lord and Taylor's. Easton Town Center has Lazarus-Macy's, Nordstrom's, BCBG, Aldo's shoe's. Unfortunately, you won't find a lot of shopping downtown.

Well, there's City Center Mall in the heart of downtown, but with Lazarus-Macy's closing in August and the mall at about 60-70% occupancy (starting to turn into Westland Mall 2 with all the vacant shops), City Center is in the TOILET!
