Amercrest
Both historic and 21st-century homes are available
The newer homes in Amercrest were built by Homeport, a Columbus-based organization that develops quality and affordable homes in areas where it’s needed. The houses were built in the 2010s and are either one-story or two-story traditional homes with three bedrooms and one-and-a-half or two bathrooms. The space inside these homes is between 700 and 1300 square feet. Not all the houses there are newer. Some were built in 1900. The newer homes generally have a price range between $200,000 and $260,000, while you can still pay under $200,000 for some older homes. Amercrest has always been an industrial area, with SA Recycling and United Alloys & Metals being the largest, but there’s room for more houses to be built. “There’s a lot of land available in that area, and there’s a home shortage in the Columbus area,” Moore says. “I know the community would love to see more families move in there.”STEM programs are available for students of all ages
Amercrest is in the Columbus City School District. Students can attend the Windsor STEM Academy for pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade. Niche says that this school has a 17-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. It’s a magnet school, meaning students from various city schools attend here. From seventh grade on, students move to the Linden-McKinley STEM Academy. This school features career-tech certification and college preparatory courses. The school has advanced placement courses in Environmental Science, US History and Calculus.Public parks have sports facilities, a splash park and community pool
Marie Moreland Park was known as American Addition Park and is named after a woman who worked hard for neighborhood improvements while living in the American Addition subdivision. She died in 2017. The nearly five-acre park includes a baseball field, basketball court, playground and an open-air shelter. A short drive to the west on Windsor Avenue is where you'll find Windsor Park, where a community pool recently opened. Windsor Pool has lap swimming for adults, diving boards, water slides and a kids’ area with a splash park. Close to the pool is the Douglas Community Center, which offers a free mobile produce market on the first Thursday of the month. The food comes from the Mid-Ohio Food Collective and is available for eligible families. The center also offers after-school programs for school-aged children.Downtown is a 10-minute drive away
One of the other advantages to living in Amercrest is the old real estate adage of location. It’s less than a 10-minute drive to downtown and the same amount of time to John Glenn Columbus International Airport. “I have a client who lives there who says that it’s Columbus’ best secret,” Moore says. “He says it’s very quiet and close to everything. I also have a cousin that just had a house built there, and she absolutely loves it.”

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
