Central College is seeing steady growth
A fast-growing part of Columbus that is likely to grow even more soon, all because of a budding technology center in nearby New Albany. Central College is 17 miles — or a 20-minute drive — northeast of Columbus, with easy freeway access to downtown.
The technology company, Intel, is scheduled to open two semiconductor plants in New Albany in 2025, which will join Facebook, Google and Amazon. All three recently opened data centers within a 5-minute drive. “The area is great for young professionals. Anyone who wants to be in the New Albany area,” says Kristen Bell, a Realtor with ValEquity Real Estate. The two Intel plants are expected to bring 3,000 jobs.
With Central College near a high-tech destination in the Columbus area, home values are expected to increase, and even more people are expected to move here. As Bell says, the change in that part of Columbus has been drastic. “If you had called me 10 years ago, the area would have been surrounded by farmland.”
Homes are mostly 21-century construction
Most of the homes in this area are built close together and were constructed in the early 2000s. Styles include neo-traditionals, modern Cape Cods and modern farmhouses. Demand is high. “Homes are in contract the same day they go on the market or within that weekend if priced appropriately," Bell says. A two-bedroom condo may start in the low $200,000s, while a 1,700-square-foot three-bedroom house with an attached garage sells in the $300,000 range. The median home sales price is $270,000, and properties stay on the market for an average of four days.
Beechcroft High is known for its football team

The staff grows natural food that’s distributed locally. Those natural foods are front and center as they also cater events, including the weddings that take place on-site. Tour the fields and gardens and marvel at the beautiful flowers on display.
The Goat offers food and sports
