Walkability, community events, and old charm

Worthington already has so many qualities and amenities that other communities strive for. The community’s character and history combined with current strengths and immediate opportunities makes the city such a special and desirable place.

The sidewalks/walkable downtown community and the community events

I treasure the community in worthington! As a queer person I always feel safe and comfortable around worthington and its shops/restaurants. Everybody is willing to help anybody!!

The community, the value and investment that’s placed in the schools, the feeling of history along with the ability to look toward the future.

Shops and restaurants – especially the new things at Worthington Gateway. Community events – holiday open house. Farmers Market

Everything – the historic downtown and how “homey” it is

I love the small town historical community vibes. It’s a great date night out and the farmers market is great.

City employees. Whenever I have needed information or help, they were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.

Location within Columbus, proximity to bike trail, walkability to town, rec center and green space

The community, the resources, the restaurants, the farmers market, the friendly people!

The small town feel
The close neighbors and safe neighborhoods for kids to play
That it isn’t overly crowded or too busy
It feels sort of old fashioned in all the right ways

Small town feel location to city of Columbus.

Community green spaces and gathering spaces that bring people together. Sense of community. Green spaces for running

I treasure the safety and walkability. I walk almost every morning at 5am because it is so peaceful. Besides deer, I’ve had no safety issues. Even with the deer I haven’t had any act out at me yet; just have to put my guard up around them. Another example of safety I’ve witnessed is that there is a bike on the green that has been sitting there for over a week. No one’s stolen it, no one’s taken it or moved it. It’s not really in the way but in other cities after even a few hours of it sitting there unattended I am sure it would have been stolen.

Historic old worthington, the parks, kid-friendly food place to raise a family, the schools, safe, the historic/colonial friendly setting, Sunday fundays, etc

– Location: close to freeway access, easy commute to cow town, airport, OSU, etc
– Variety of housing styles: some historical, some newer, mix of apartments, condos, single family
– Recreation: great community center, the Mac and its programs, bike path, lots of parks, events on the green
– Reputation and desirability (although I perceive our reputation has been dulled over the last decade)
