Why Live in Shannon Heights
Shannon Heights is just west of the Scioto River and is known for its relaxed suburban feel and convenient access to lots of amenities in northwest Columbus. Located just south of Dublin, the neighborhood offers an easy commute via I-270 while keeping downtown Columbus, Upper Arlington and major employment centers within a reasonable drive. Homes are arranged along streets branching off Frantz Road and mostly date back to the 1980s, with Colonial, split-level and ranch-style designs being the most common. Two-car garages and sidewalks are typical, giving the area a consistent and well-established look. Single-family homes generally sell from the mid-$300,000s to the high $500,000s, with prices landing higher than nearby areas like Tuttle or Dexter Falls but still below much of Dublin. Condos are more common on the east side of the neighborhood and usually fall in the mid to high $200,000s, often with HOA fees that cover basics like lawn care, trash and sewer. Families are drawn to the area for Dublin City Schools, which are widely recognized as some of the best in the region, and Thomas Elementary is close enough for many kids to walk. Daily errands are easy thanks to Karric Square Shopping Center, while standout local spots like Black Dog Pizzeria and The Rail Craft Kitchen and Bar keep dining close to home. Larger shopping trips are handled next door at Tuttle Crossing and an Aldi sits just across the river. Outdoor options are a big draw, with Hayden Run Falls Park, Scioto Park, Coffman Park and Safari Golf Club all nearby, giving residents quick access to trails, river views, sports facilities and community events year-round.
