First of all, city boundaries don't matter. You have to look at the entire metro area and as far as I'm concerned, the metro area is easily among the best of peer cities. It's a white collar city, the population is educated. It is slightly progressive, but not too over the top. Compare to Kansas City, Memphis, Portland, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, and to me it's better. Nashville gets a lot of good press these days, but except for the nice areas, I didn't see what the big deal was about Nashville. Charlotte I don't know enough about, but it seems like there would be more bank people and corporate types, which doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies.
If you're looking for a lot of nightlife, this place isn't it. But if you're looking for a nice place to live with a lot of curb appeal, Metro Columbus is pretty good.
Let's put it this way, Metro Columbus has basically doubled in population since 1980. If it wasn't a good place, people wouldn't be moving here.
