Nice list but very expensive. I understand your a realtor and sell big, but for average Joes like myself, look at 1.) Hilliard, 2.) Grove City, 3.)Gahanna, 4.) Dublin, 5.) Worthington
Westerville 💖, the HOMES are fantastic, old and new homes, the library "awesome"😁, plenty of places to eat😋, ranch style homes, parks, huge rec center, walking and bike paths, neighborhood businesses.💖
@@zeemc2751 I’d say Westerville is definitely what I’d call an affordable suburb, a good condo will set you back about 250 plus , a good home about 350 plus .
I’ve lived in Galena, Westerville and New Albany. I agree 💯 with your picks. Currently living in Sunbury which shares a school district with Galena. My daughters went to Big Walnut School District when we still had drive your tractor to school day. That’s now a thing of the past, sadly. This area is growing like crazy, probably due to Intel coming in. Johnstown as well, a notable mention, beautiful community, growing like crazy.
One thing to note is that if you work in downtown Columbus, OSU, Battelle, etc. on snow days those 20-25 minute commutes on 315 or 71 from Dublin, Powell, New Albany, and Westerville often become more like 1 hour commutes, with Galena being even longer. It’s a much easier commute to Upper Arlington or Clintonville on a snow day if you work close to downtown. Obviously, if you work in the suburb near where you live then snow day commutes aren’t an issue.
If you don't consider Upper Arlington (and others), then this list makes sense. The list should be titled "The 5 best places to live if you can't get a home in Upper Arlington, Grandview, Worthington or Bexley"- sorry, it's just a fact. Soon it will be "The 5 best places to live between Cleveland and Columbus".
I'm thinking about moving next year. Living in Memphis and I want to get way from the heat and crime. I'm thinking about Columbus, looking for a hockey city that's reasonably priced. I also like the OSU marching band
1. Powell 2. Non-Sawmill Dublin 3. Upper Arlington 4. New Albany 5. West. Central Westerville The problem with New Albany is that is is out east and surrounded by all the other east areas.
I'm from Ohio but I've moved to Texas I've made more money in Ohio than I've ever made in texas. Then I don't have to worry about companies not paying me or missing hours or waiting a month to a year to be reimbursed for those hours.. Moving back home.
What part of texas? So im from nyc and moving to columbus, dublin/powell area, i was planning on moving to texas (dallas/plano) area after maybe 3 years depending on how things change.
The neighborhoods all look nice. I've lived in So. Calif my whole life, and never been in a home without a backyard fence. Every house has one here. Would be my only concern as we have dogs.
Hope you like Tornados. The storms seem to skip over the city and land in Westerville. Also these areas are extremely left leaning and high taxes. Have at it. Lol
Columbus has the most impatient drivers. They have been voted third most impatient drivers in America. And an impatient driver is a dangerous driver. “Tail Gate city”. Everywhere you drive you will be tail gated. Get ready to disregard the speed limit or you will be passed in the most dangerous situations. Generally, speed over curtsy. At red light, everyone packs the cars tightly together. When the light turns green, no one gives a two second pause before acceleration and the line of cars stays as close as possible. Everyone is pushing or being pushed. In an accident, you cant tell the Judge - “Everybody else does it.”
Man...I knew what you were gonna pick before I even watched the video. And, viewers...he's right: Bring your checkbook. A really BIG checkbook. May as well get a AAA membership because none of these are actual suburbs. They're satellite towns. Most are north and west of the outerbelt. If you're watching this and you make less than six figures, you're gonna have one heck of a time even finding housing in these school districts. Regrettably, "best" often means "richest"...and I don't see that changing anywhere anytime soon.
Yes. Twenty years ago, Gahanna was a good alternative. But it's going where Reynoldsburg has gone. And they're going where Whitehall has been for decades.
Only people familiar with the metropolitan Columbus can follow your video. Complete outsiders will be lost from you're trying to convey, except jotting down those suburb names😂😅
THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO NOT MOVE HERE? Columbus is the international test center for ALLERGIES 🤧. Don't believe me? Call an allergist's office AND ASK!!
New Albany and Westerville are both very overrated. If you want the virtue signaling of black lives matter yard signs but dont want black people ANYWHERE near you then New Albany is definitely your place. And if you like white horse fences everywhere you'll love it. No horse required (or allowed even) Westerville downtown has some charm and Otterbein is there but the people are terribly snobbish and its awful to drove through as all the roads are 25 mph. And it was a national leader in the prohibition movement back in the day and there's still some of that puritanical sensibility there but oddly there's lots of trashy people there now as well. Galena is a bedroom community. It's decent if you're a boring person and don't like non-whites but there's nothing there really except sprawl developments. Yawn. Dublin is fine and so is Powell. Worthington, Gahanna and Upper Arlington are the other top 5 for different reasons and Grandview is the honorable mention. If you're into, uhhh, diversity, Bexley is very cool but definitely more urban than the others as it's ghetto adjacent. Cheers!
@@fluff1353 If you're referring to Olde Towne East I can say that it's still happening but it's more of a smolder. I've been in this neighborhood for nearly a decade now. You see little things: the railyard was completed a year or so ago, a vegan cafe, and some of the new apartments being built are asking about 1.8k-2-2k per month. It's not all like that but it's still kind of a creeping thing. There is good stuff and inconvenient stuff with it all. I'm looking to buy a house in the next few years, I don't think it'll be here but who knows.
@@rctecopyright I carried mail out there many times back in the early 2000s. I saw a lot of new things. The library was put up about that time. My sister used to live in the neighborhood in a fixer-upper. But I'll be honest. After Coleman left office the project slowed, and that was a shame. It was starting to pick up. Most renewal type efforts often run out of steam, either because of funding or financing. Banks and politicians are scared of speculation.

I think worthington is worthy of an honorable mention
So do I.
The neighborhoods all look nice. I've lived in So. Calif my whole life,
and never been in a home without a backyard fence. Every house has one here. Would be my only concern as we have dogs.
Galena is very spacious. Perfect area to buy land, build a home or start a small homestead 👍
Here's my top 5... #5, West Jefferson, #2, Grove City, #3, Galloway, #2, Groveport and #1, Obetz.
What is the population and the median age?
I hope to be able to live in new Albany or Westerville someday.
Hope you like Tornados. The storms seem to skip over the city and land in Westerville. Also these areas are extremely left leaning and high taxes. Have at it. Lol
@@midnightwind8067 not a fan of the left leaning at all.. I’ll tread lightly 👍🏼

Yes!

Taxes are really high.

Yeah if you’re rich!
New Albany is really expensive right now due to the data centers and chip manufacturing coming into that area
Gahanna should be on the list, as a resident for over 25 years the proximity to all points of interest in central ohio are witin 20-25 minutes.
Yes. Twenty years ago, Gahanna was a good alternative. But it's going where Reynoldsburg has gone. And they're going where Whitehall has been for decades.
Westerville schools are not that good and Dublin is a lot of McMansions but good schools.
Westerville is nice, especially with Otterbein right there. Schools aren’t bad, but perhaps not in the Dublin category.

@@opensourceanglers8291 thank you for the insight into these communities!!!
I live in Olde Towne East, can't disagree with your breakdown 😂
@@rctecopyright That area enjoyed a thirty-minute gentrification effort back in the early 2000s, but it fizzled out like a sparkler.

You have to be able to afford Les Wexner's New Albany.
