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.”
Central College neighborhood is located about twenty miles to the north east of Columbus.
The Central College neighborhood features a range of housing styles from condos and townhomes to New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals.
