Blacklick Estates is a Columbus suburb near jobs and essentials

Blacklick Estates is a cozy suburb about 10 miles from downtown Columbus. One of the main reasons people move here is its location; nearby highways make it easy to drive to tech hubs and shopping centers. Still, the local restaurants and parks mean you don't have to go into the city for everything. Places like Groveport host events that bring a small-town charm to the area.

Turnkey homes draw in first-time buyers

Most of the housing market was built in the mid-20th century, including split-level and ranch-style homes with brick and vinyl exteriors. There are also some New Traditional styles that were built as recently as the 2020s. Move-in ready homes range from the mid-$100,000s to the low $400,000s, and you can find an investment property for less than $100,000. “It’s a good place for starter homes,” says Realtor Don Shaffer with Howard Hanna. “It’s got a pretty good range of price levels.”
