Surrounding the banks of Big Walnut Creek, Gould Park is a quiet neighborhood known for blending suburban life with acres of green space. Professionals use the nearby interstate for daily commutes, while families have easy access to top-rated schools and one of the Columbus metro area’s most popular shopping districts. But even with modern amenities, Gould Park’s nature-filled surroundings give it a rustic, slow-living vibe.
The neighborhood has more apartments than anything else, but there are plenty of single-family homes as well. Contemporary houses from the 1990s and onward make up the majority of developments, including New Traditional and ranch-style designs. Lots sometimes come close to an acre in size, and frequently back up to wooded areas, highlighting the woodsy atmosphere. Single-story homes typically sell between the mid-$200,000s and the high $300,000s, while larger two-story houses range from the high $300,000s to the high $500,000s. The median price for a home in Gould Park is in the low $400,000s, comparable to Little Turtle but higher than nearby areas like Blendon Woods, Sunbury Woods and Strawberry Farms.
Easton Town Center, one of the largest shopping spots in Columbus, is less than 4 miles from the neighborhood. It has over 200 retailers, including department stores like Nordstrom and Macy’s, as well as luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Chain restaurants like The Melting Pot and Cheesecake Factory are popular, as are entertainment venues like LEGOLAND Discovery Center and AMC DINE-IN. Costco, Whole Foods and Walmart Supercenter are all within a few miles.
There is a wide variety of locally owned restaurants and eateries around Gould Park:
With nearly 100 acres of wildlife area to explore, Cherrybottom Park makes up a large stretch of Gould Park’s center. Locals come here to fish, hike trails and attend local events. Blendon Woods Metro Park is a local favorite, with over 650 acres of forests, lakes and ravines. Derrick Smith, a Realtor with KW Commercial Classic Properties of Columbus, says the park's Walden Waterfowl Refuge adds something special to the local greenery. “You can watch them come in with the seasons,” he says. “Ducks you never thought you’d see outside of National Geographic are right in your backyard.” The park’s nature center hosts a variety of clubs, camps and educational events. The area is also popular for disc golf, hiking and cross-country skiing in the winter. “Because of the park, people feel like they are a little more in the country than they are," says Realtor Jay Stanley, who sells homes in the area with The Stanley Team. The recently remodeled Golf Club at Little Turtle is a private course with a heated outdoor pool, pickleball courts and an 18-hole course designed by Pete Dye.
Bordered by Interstate 270 and state Route 161, Gould Park is in a good spot for most commuters. Downtown Columbus is a 12-mile drive, while the tech corridor around New Albany is about 8 miles away. Major work hubs like Groveport, Dublin and Westerville are all within 20 miles. The Central Ohio Transit Authority’s bus service is available, with stops along Morse Road. While sidewalks and quiet streets make residential areas fairly walkable, most trips need a car or a bus pass.
Students here attend the top-rated Westerville City School District, which Niche calls one of the best school districts in the Columbus area. In addition to a well-loved college-prep program, Westerville North High School has an active performing arts program and an award-winning athletic program.
