A central park and essentials make daily life convenient

Tucked at the corner of Interstate 71 and state Route 161, Devonshire is a convenient spot for anyone with a commute. The neighborhood also has everyday essentials close by, including shops, schools and places to eat. A well-loved park sits at the center of the community, and the area’s midcentury homes give the place a settled, comfortable vibe that appeals to people looking for something established.

Well‑kept split‑levels and ranch-style homes sell quickly

The looping streets of Devonshire are lined with shade trees and narrow, well-traveled sidewalks. Though about half of the homes are apartments, the rest are mostly split-levels and ranch-style houses, which have been there since the 1960s and ‘70s. Realtor Jamie Maze of Maze & Company says they’ve been well-maintained over the years, offering more than the cookie-cutter models elsewhere in Columbus. “There’s some good character on those houses,” she says. “A lot of them have their original wood floors.” Sales range from the high $100,000s to the high $300,000s, and they sell fast: often in two weeks or less. The median price lands in the high $200,000s, similar to what you’ll see in Forest Park West, Forest Park East, Northgate and Salem Village, but lower than Deer Creek and Westerville.

Walking access to neighborhood Columbus City Schools

Kids attend schools in the Columbus City School District, the largest in Ohio, with nearly 50,000 students. Devonshire Elementary School is at the center of the neighborhood, while Beechcroft High School is less than a mile away, making walking to class an option for many students. Families in Columbus City Schools can apply to magnet, alternative or non-assigned schools through a lottery system when seats are limited. The district also accepts some out-of-district students through open enrollment.

Close access to highways and transit keeps travel times manageable

Being close to major highways makes getting around pretty easy: downtown Columbus or New Albany are about 10 miles away, while Westerville and Worthington are closer to 5. The Central Ohio Transit Authority buses also serve the area, with stops along Karl Road and Route 161. The Anheuser-Busch Columbus brewery is less than 2 miles away and is a significant local employer. While the neighborhood itself is pretty walkable, most locals use a car or the bus system for work and errands.

Easton Town Center has over 200 stores, restaurants and services.

Everyday needs and major shopping hubs are a short drive away

For nearby shopping, Worthington Place is about 4 miles away and covers the basics, with Kroger as its anchor. Easton Town Center is just a couple of miles farther. It is the area’s main shopping destination, with a mix of over 200 stores, chain restaurants and entertainment venues spread across walkable streets.

A central park plus several larger outdoor spots nearby

The park that gives Devonshire its name sits right in the middle of the neighborhoods: a 6-acre green space with a playground and open fields, popular with dog walkers and runners. But there are lots of other outdoor options for locals within just a few miles:

  • Woodward Park has walking trails, tennis courts and a popular community center that hosts events, activities and classes year-round.
  • Sharon Woods Metro Park has 800 acres of forests, lakes and hills: ideal for fishing in the summer and sledding in the winter.
  • Lazelle Woods Park offers a more low-key experience, with quiet picnic areas and a playground.
