Treasures

Small town feel, low traffic, green space, knowing my neighbors

The retained feel of a small town, with sidewalk tables where people can gather and talk. The village green. The historical homes. The history of acceptance of ALL who come to live here, and our willingness to protect those who choose to live here. The excellent schools, and the investment that our population has in keeping the schools excellent. The libraries, accessible in different sections of our town.

It feels like a nice, family community. I can walk to many places and it doesn’t feel crowded. Worthington is diverse, safe, and peaceful.

Sense of community

Small town cuteness. Distinct neighborhoods and schools

Small town feel, lovely neighbors and teachers.

The history and physical character. The lower density.

Our founding fathers platted the land and our secondary founding fathers capped the population at 17,000 to be self-sustaining and not growing too big to handle.

Not much – things here are not what they used to be

My neighbors and the Worthington’s proximity to other areas of Columbus.

Great city services and city staff.
