Welcome to Olde Towne East

Olde Towne East resides in the historic Near East Side of Columbus, Ohio, making it one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. With over 1,000 homes, some dating back to the 1830s, the area boasts a diverse architectural landscape, showcasing more than 50 styles that reflect its rich history.

The Olde Towne East Neighborhood Association (OTENA) was founded in 1975 as a non-profit organization to promote civic pride and cultural awareness.
