A refined New Albany lifestyle in lavish colonial revival homes

Life in the Columbus suburb of New Albany combines the past and present with contemporary businesses and amenities built in a uniform Colonial Revival style. Contemporary living with a classical touch awaits in the city’s Fodor neighborhood, which features luxurious homes near acclaimed shopping, dining and school options and the New Albany Country Club. “The neighborhood's biggest attraction is the New Albany school district and its easy access to nearby amenities,” said Realtor Kandis Hall of New Albany Realty. Hall has handled real estate sales and rentals for over seven years and has lived in New Albany since 2017. According to Hall, Fodor’s beautiful home selection and central location offer one of the city’s greatest value propositions.

Classically styled homes with contemporary luxury

Mature trees and abundant sidewalks define the streets of Fodor’s residential areas, where Colonial Revival properties take stylistic cues from Federal, Georgian and Cape Cod homes. Single-family homes with three to four bedrooms are typical, though buyers can also occasionally find homes with up to six bedrooms. Most homes include attached garages and porticos; exteriors typically use vinyl lap siding or brick. Three- and four-bedroom properties with medium-sized floorplans range from about $520,000 to $650,000. Larger properties with four to six bedrooms start at about 700,000 and top out near $810,000.
