Traditional homes east of Big Walnut Creek
The median price for a single-family home in the community is in the low $200,000s, less than the national median price. “It’s a good place for starter homes,” says Shaffer. “But it’s got a pretty good range of price levels.” Homes rarely stay on the market for over a month, averaging 17 days. Midcentury split-levels and ranch-style homes are popular in the northeastern end of the community, while traditional homes from the late 20th century fill the neighborhoods east of Big Walnut Creek.
Areas along Big Walnut Creek and Blacklick Creek are prone to flooding, and homes there might require flooding insurance.
