Streets are lined with mature trees, and the city is full of historical buildings — from the local theater to the community center that used to be a mansion. “People want to get to know their neighbors,” says Realtor Terri Barnett, who is also the part-time owner of RE/MAX National Land Advisory Group located in the heart of Bexley. “You’ll often find that neighbors are lifelong friends.”

Tudor and Colonial houses on landscaped lawns
Bexley offers a wide range of architectural styles, from Tudor Revivals to brick-and-siding Colonial Revivals. Regardless of what style homebuyers want, they can expect homes to sit on lush green lawns enhanced with landscaping and mature trees. Streets have sidewalks on both sides, and streetlamps. Two-car garages are common, though many are tucked behind the homes so as not to distract from the front façade. Residents can access their garages through narrow back streets in between rows of houses. Bexley’s housing diversity doesn’t stop at architectural styles. “Homes will go for anywhere from $2 to $3 million down to $300,000,” Barnett says.

Indie and international films at The Drexel Theatre
The Top Steakhouse offers premium steak cuts, from filet mignon to ribeye and porterhouse. Johnson’s Real Ice Cream has served the area homemade ice cream since 1950. The Drexel Theatre is a Bexley staple that originally opened in 1937. Though restored and expanded several times since then, restoration processes have aimed to keep the original Art Deco architecture and design. The theatre features many independent and international films not typically found at other commercial venues. Bexley Natural Market is a locally owned co-op that features goods from many local businesses and farmers. Co-op members directly choose which products are available for a more community-oriented grocery shopping experience. Across Alum Creek, Kroger is 1.2 miles from Bexley. At Town and Country Shopping Center 2.5 miles away, locals can shop at Target. A Walmart Supercenter is 3 miles away.

Parades and block parties in Bexley
Bexley residents can head into the city center to attend Columbus events, but there’s also plenty happening right in the community. On the Fourth of July, residents can watch or participate in the town’s annual parade. “The only requirement to be in the parade is that you have your bicycle decorated,” Barnett says. In the fall, the meadow behind Jeffrey Mansion hosts the Harvest Festival, where locals can enjoy a corn maze, a bonfire and games. The city also supports neighborhood celebrations with a trailer full of party supplies. “Whenever you’d like to have a block party, just let them know, and they’ll give you the blockages and the games,” Barnett says.
