The Hilltop is a geographic area of Columbus, Ohio on the west side of the city. It was so named because it sits atop a rise that slopes down into the Scioto River. Westgate, Wilshire Heights and Highland Park are included within the Hilltop area and it borders on Franklinton. The “Greater Hilltop Area” (as defined by the City of Columbus) is bounded by I-70 on the north, I-270 on the south and west, and the railroad track just west of Harrisburg Pike/Central Avenue/3C. The Hilltop includes part or all of ZIP Codes 43204, 43223, 43228 and 43123. Its main thoroughfares are West Broad Street (U.S. Route 40) — upon which two welcome signs for the neighborhood sit (one near I-70 and one near Wilson Road) — Mound Street and Hague Avenue.
