Diverse Housing Options at Affordable Prices

Glenbrook features a diverse housing landscape, mainly with colonial, ranch-style, split-level homes and townhomes. The neighborhood is experiencing increased investor activity and home flips, Vance says, which has increased its popularity amongst home buyers. The median home price in Glenbrook is $223,950." You can buy a house for under $250,000 in this neighborhood, and sometimes under $200,000, and so that's like the sweet spot of affordable housing here in Columbus," Vance says. Most homes have driveways and front yards full of grass; however, the homes are built close together. Columbus has a competitive housing market, Vance says, because the city has been ranked as one of the top 150 cities to live in, according to U.S. News and World Report.
