• You're far from alone. The most popular ZIP codes for home buyers (and dreamers) in the Columbus Metro Statistical Area all feature suburban neighborhoods surrounding the capital city.

Why it matters: The demolition marks another failure for historic preservation in Columbus, which has seen a growing number of noteworthy sites torn down in recent decades in the name of development.
