Everything Worthington can offer at Columbus tax rates
Deer Creek residents enjoy a relaxed suburb near major retail centers and a highly rated school system close to Worthington, Ohio.

"They're some of the best in central Ohio, and it's all at Columbus taxes here, which are much lower." Beyond the homes are industrial sites to the southwest; these include Fortune 500 companies such as Worthington Enterprises and Worthington Steel.
