The median single‑family home price sits in the low $400,000s, drawing many first‑time buyers who appreciate its affordability and walkable atmosphere. Its location near U.S. Route 62 and Interstates 270 and 670 makes it ideal for commuters. Downtown Columbus is about 8 miles away, and major job centers like Gahanna, Upper Arlington and Westerville are within 12 miles. Nearby New Albany hosts expanding tech facilities from Meta, Amazon and Google, earning the region the nickname “Silicon Valley of the Midwest.” The neighborhood is also convenient for travelers, sitting just north of John Glenn Columbus International Airport, which produces little noise due to flight paths. A $2 billion expansion is expected by 2029. Families in Crossroads are served by the top-rated Gahanna‑Jefferson Public School District. The newly opened Gahanna Lincoln High School features over 130 classrooms, three dining areas and a modern stadium. Students typically attend based on home address, though in‑district transfer requests depend on space, and out‑of‑district enrollment follows Ohio’s open‑enrollment rules.
