How Brandywine offers access to parks, trails and daily convenience

Brandywine is a quiet residential pocket on Columbus' northeast side with a suburban feel. Buyers are drawn to its variety of single-family homes and easy access to major roadways leading downtown and to nearby employment hubs. As part of Columbus' Northland area, known for its international dining scene and global markets, the neighborhood also puts a world of flavors within reach. Within Brandywine itself, a large sports park and a link to the city's greater trail network give residents room to get outside.

Typical prices and home styles in this competitive market

Brandywine is made up of single-family homes that reflect a range of eras and styles. Most of what's on the market are New Traditional houses with attached two-car garages, built in planned subdivisions from the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Older midcentury cottages and ranch-style or split-level homes from the 1970s and '80s are less common but do come on the market from time to time.

Sales have ranged from the low $200,000s to the low $500,000s. Prices tend to run a bit higher than the Columbus norm and older Northland communities like Forest Park East and Parkview. Generally, they’re closer to what buyers see in Strawberry Farms and the village of Minerva Park. Homes here also tend to move quickly compared to national and citywide averages, often going under contract within a few weeks.

Drive times vary but major roads keep jobs within reach

Getting around from Brandywine is pretty straightforward and car-dependent. Interstate 71, Interstate 270, Morse Road and East Dublin-Granville Road, also known as State Route 161, are all close by, making it easy to get across Columbus or head to nearby employment hubs like New Albany and Dublin.

"We're seeing a lot of families moving to the suburbs on the east side of town," says Jessica Walters, a Realtor at RE/MAX Partners. "Then you've got all the tech industry jobs opening up out there."

New Albany's growing technology corridor is about 15 miles from Brandywine — a 20- to 30-minute drive during rush hour — and has drawn major investments from Intel, Meta, Google and other companies. Downtown Columbus is roughly 10 miles away, though the drive can stretch to 30 or 40 minutes at peak times.

Busy soccer fields with access to Alum Creek trail

Kilbourne Run Sports Park is a neighborhood hangout and one of the city's busiest soccer hubs. Covering more than 60 acres, the park has more than 10 soccer fields for local programming and community play. Forested parkland edges the fields, and a connecting trail leads to the Alum Creek Greenway Trail, a paved path following the Alum Creek corridor for over 20 miles and linking parks and neighborhoods from Westerville to Three Creeks Metro Park. It's a popular route for dog walkers, cyclists and joggers.
