Open fields and quiet roads just minutes from downtown Columbus
Brice offers the balance of urban amenities that are close by and the feeling of being away from everything in a rural setting. “You’re close to the eastern intersection of Interstates 70 and 270, and that can get you to John Glenn Columbus International Airport in about 15 minutes,” Paul says.
