Home styles, lot sizes and prices in a well-established area
Dexter Falls is characterized by manicured lawns, quiet cul-de-sacs and long stretches of sidewalk. Lots are usually under a quarter-acre, with many homes offering fenced backyards, decks or patios. Most of the houses were built in the 1980s, which gives the neighborhood a newer look while still feeling established. That mix helps create a strong sense of community, says Matt Oates, a Realtor with Howard Hanna and a Dexter Falls resident. “Everyone we’ve encountered is really nice and welcoming, even when we moved in,” he says. “Everyone waves to us and says hello.”
New Traditional, ranch-style and colonial-inspired homes are common, with most selling between the low $300,000s and $500,000s and a median price in the high $300,000s. This puts the general price tag on par with Tuttle and Tuttle West, but lower than Shannon Heights, Riverplace and nearby parts of Hilliard and Dublin. That affordability, paired with relatively newer homes, draws a wide range of buyers, according to Janet Rung, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “You’ve got opportunities for a lot of young professionals in Dexter Falls,” she says. “It gives you that sense of master-planned communities with amenities that go above and beyond.” Condos are also common, especially toward the west side, with duplexes and townhomes selling between the high $200,000s and low $400,000s. HOA fees typically run between $300 and $400 per month and often cover lawncare, water and snow removal.
Many homes here have a Colonial style.
Contemporary ranch-style houses are also popular.

Schools are a top draw for families moving to the area
The neighborhood is zoned for the highly rated Hilliard City School District, which Niche counts as one of the top 10 in the Columbus metro area. In 2025, the district was ranked first in Ohio for value-added performance for the third year in a row on the Ohio School Report Card, recognizing the district as the state leader in academic growth. That same year, all three of the district’s high school marching bands earned top honors at statewide Ohio Music Education Association competitions, including multiple Grand Champion titles for Hilliard Bradley and Hilliard Davidson. Oates credits the school system’s reputation for his family’s decision to move there. “We were in the Worthington School District and wanted to be in a similar quality place,” he says.
Hilliard Davidson High School is on Niche’s list of best public high schools in Franklin County.
Students are zoned for the Britton-Norwich Learning Campus.
Hilliard Weaver Middle School is rated B+ by Niche.

Another shopping complex in Mill Run features spas, home goods stores and an international market.
Local restaurants offer a break from chains and fast food
Though the area is filled with chains and fast food, there are also several locally owned restaurants worth looking at. Some of those options include:
Dublin Village Tavern offers Irish-inspired comfort food and a laid back atmosphere.
Tucci’s is an Italian steakhouse with an upper-crust ambiance and extensive wine list.
101 Craft Kitchen serves upscale tavern food with seasonal specials.
Gene’s is known for its fine dining, New American cuisine experience.
Nearby parks offer space to play, walk and enjoy nature
Dexter Falls Park spans about 10 acres and is a go-to spot for casual neighborhood soccer games. The park also has a paved walking path, a covered picnic shelter and a playground with two sets of swings. Oates says of the park, “Sometimes we’ll run into my daughter’s classmates over there. Definitely a nice place to go.” Just off Hayden Run Road, the Griggs Nature Preserve includes the two-acre Hayden Falls Park. Following a winding boardwalk leads to a 35-foot waterfall that feels surprisingly quiet and tucked away, offering a peaceful break from the surrounding suburbs.
