Why buyers value Foxboro's northwestern location

The neighborhood features well-kept contemporary homes that give it an established feel, along with nearby green spaces that add a bit of nature.

What homes, condos and HOA costs look like here

Most of the homes here were built in the 1970s and ‘80s, with a mix of Craftsman, split-level and ranch-style layouts. Fenced backyards, attached garages and finished basements are pretty typical. Streets have sidewalks and plenty of shade trees, and most lots are around a fifth-acre or smaller.

Home prices usually fall between the high $200,000s and the mid-$300,000s, with a median in the low $300,000s. That generally makes Foxboro less expensive than nearby places like Olde Sawmill, Brookside Colony and Summerwood.

Condos and townhomes are also common, usually priced from the mid-$100,000s to the low $200,000s, depending on size and features. Many come with monthly HOA fees just under $300, which typically cover things like lawn care and water.

Why Dublin City Schools draws families to the area

Thomas Hamrick, a Realtor with Keller Williams Consultants Realty, says local public schools play a big role in why families choose Foxboro. “It’s part of Dublin City Schools, but with Columbus taxes, so that’s desirable to a lot of people,” he says. Niche ranks the district as the best in the Columbus area and among the top five in Ohio.
