The people and our strong sense of pride in our community, the schools, and town.

Small little town. Walking sidewalks in neighborhoods. Small, not too big

Strong community feel

Small town feel within a metropolitan environment and All our needs our met within a 6 mile radius. We also greatly appreciate the manner in which the City honors the rich history, embraces the current environment ( Religious, Education, Volunteer Organizations) and provides a great deal of city services. There is always something to do or to be involved in within this Worthington Community.

Downtown shops and restaurants; concerts on the green; parks; community center and libraries

Great downtown area, filled with diverse amenities, restaurants, etc.

Close community, walkable, restaurants and stores, good schools

The small town feel. Walkability. Sense of community.

There’s a strong community with a lot of pride. Its a great place to raise a family, and stay long after the kids are grown.

I have already submitted information. I am adding a comment at the end of the survey

Physical location in the Columbus area.

Walkability, so many mature trees, the sense that older buildings can harmoniously co-exist with newer purposes, St. John’s burial ground, the village green, the comfortable scale of the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. We are so fortunate to live here!

The parks and the community center.

I love that Worthington is a small, open and giving community.

Downtown, schools, pool, community center, bike trail

Small town feel and historical charm. Inside 270 but easy to jump on a freeway. Caring neighbors and good schools. Greenspace and arts and entertainment events.

Small town, historical charm while inside 270. Caring neighbors and good schools. Greenspace and thriving arts, music, events scene.

parks, bike trails, good schools

Old Worthington’s walkability and community building spaces. Pocket parks in neighborhoods. Proximity to Downton Columbus. Access to nature. Schools and Library

It is easy to enjoy the benefits of paying the high taxes we do in WORTHINGTON. Just look at how property values may decline in the future due to deer rulings the city. No one can plant any landscape that would improve the property value.

City Services & Community Values

I have lived in many Columbus suburbs since graduating from Ohio University in 2008. As a young married couple, and even now as a family with three young children, we found ourselves gravitating to neighborhoods inside the 270 area and more specifically close to High Street. Worthington is unique in its access to both highway and trail access for commuting, and walking access to most of the center of the downtown area for activities throughout the week. We live in the Riverlea neighborhood and value the proximity we have to daycare, school, grocery, restaurant and our employers downtown. It’s easy to pack up young children and walk or drive to entertainment, playgrounds or the farmers market on the weekends, and comforting knowing our children will grow up with the confidence to move around our City on their own with bikes or scooters.

We moved here from Clintonville to be in an area where most everyone sends their kids to the public schools. We live in Colonial Hills & love how many kids we have in our area, our accessibility to Old Worthington, downtown & surrounding areas. We love & appreciate the trees & community events.
