Terrace Place

Terrance Place is located at 81 E 9th Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43201. It is about half a block from High Street and about a block from Summit Street. It was built to provide affordable housing to people in danger of homelessness, and those that struggle with addiction and mental health issues. It is mostly surrounded by other housing and apartments and is directly across the street from Indianola Park. It also is within short walking distance of a church. Its close proximity to High Street also means that it is close to plenty of fast food, stores and entertainment, especially since the Gateway Center can be seen from Terrace Place. The nearest grocery store is the Kroger on 5th and High, only 4 blocks away. Its modern style blends into that of the nicer apartment buildings around, however the complex dwarfs nearby houses in terms of size. Aesthetically it is a very nice looking building and is well maintained. The parking lot is big and has a gate so that only residents may park there, as well as serving to protect their cars from possible break ins.
