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. |

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! |

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. |

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. |
