Brookside Village is a small, quiet neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio’s Northwest district. While it features similar amenities to its neighbors Worthington and Antrim, this community is priced slightly lower. Residents enjoy highly rated schools, proximity to Jack Nicklaus Freeway and Olentangy Freeway, nearby shopping and dining, mid-priced homes and a quiet atmosphere.
One of the main attractions of Brookside Village is access to highly rated schools. Kids start at Brookside Elementary, which has a B-plus rating on Niche. “Brookside Elementary is supported by the neighborhood by enthusiastic parents who love that there’s a school nearby for their young kids,” says Kristen Maetzold, Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. The Brookside PTA is very active, planning events throughout the year, including a scavenger hunt, hayride and a chili cookoff.
From there, kids advance to McCord Middle School, which has an A-minus rating on Niche. Worthington Kilbourne High School scores well on academics, the quality of teachers and college prep, and has an A-minus rating. Some extracurricular sports available to students include curling, water polo and synchronized swimming.
Jack Nicklaus Freeway, also known as The Outerbelt, borders this neighborhood to the north and provides easy to the greater Columbus area. Olentangy Freeway is also nearby, just 3 miles east. Downtown Columbus is 13 miles south of this neighborhood and can be reached in about 20 minutes, and Ohio State University is about 9 miles south. And although major highways can be easily reached from this area, cul-de-sacs and winding roads prevent excessive through traffic.
To stock up on everyday essentials, residents head to the intersection of West Grandville and Sawmill Road to shop at big box stores like Kroger, Trader Joe’s and Target. In the same area, a wide range of chain and locally owned restaurants provide options for a quick bite. There is also shopping and dining north of Brookside Village along Smoky Row and Hard Road.
Being active is easy when there are two parks within a short drive. Snouffer Park has two baseball diamonds, a sand volleyball court and picnic tables. Not far from there is Perry Park, which is connected to Snouffer Park by a walking trail. This 22-acre outdoor haven has green space for sports, a sheltered picnic area and two playgrounds.
Brookside Village residents also love being near Brookside Golf & Country Club, a private, 18-hole golf course with lush fairways. The course has hosted many US Open Sectional Qualifiers. The facility has also hosted wedding receptions and banquets. Banquet facilities are open to non-members and members alike. Also on-site are outdoor and indoor tennis courts and an Olympic-sized pool.
Home prices range from $350,000 to $450,000, most of which were built in the 1980s. “With the age of the homes, you’ll find that some have been updated to include more modern styles inside the house, such as more open space,” Metzold says. “So, they have the best of both worlds, having an older home with a more modern floor plan.” Architectural styles are split-level, traditional and colonial. Townhouses are also plentiful in this community, ranging from $160,000 and $570,000.
Brookside Village is a community that cares. “The jewel of it is how close of a community it is with enthusiastic residents that just ooze support,” says Metzold. The houses of worship in and around this community showcase the caring nature of nearby residents. Smoky Row Brethren is a popular church in the neighborhood that organizes year-round volunteer efforts and features a food pantry and preschool.
