Saint Mary's Homes for Sale

Just west of Alum Creek and I‑670, St. Mary’s is a compact urban neighborhood in the midst of gradual change. Older homes are increasingly being renovated as new residents move in, drawn by the area’s proximity to downtown Columbus and major employment hubs, along with home prices that remain more affordable than nearby suburbs. Streets are lined with closely spaced houses on small lots, many built between the 1920s and 1950s, including Cape Cods, bungalows and American Foursquares that often need updating. That investment is happening more frequently, signaling what local agents describe as the neighborhood’s next chapter. Residents are served by Columbus City Schools, with access to nearby charter, private, magnet and open‑enrollment options, as well as a satellite campus of Ohio Dominican University just outside the area. Commuters benefit from quick access to I‑670, COTA bus routes and short drives to downtown, New Albany, Clintonville and Upper Arlington. Shopping and dining are mostly casual and neighborhood‑focused, with larger retail destinations like Easton Town Center a short drive away. While St. Mary’s itself has limited park space, several well‑used parks, trails and recreation areas—including Alum Creek Trail, Franklin Park and Brentnell Park—are easily accessible nearby.
