Mid-century and late 20th-century housing
The neighborhood's windy residential blocks are shaded by old-growth trees. Most lawns are large enough for residents to host backyard parties and cookouts when the weather is warm. One-story and two-story New Traditional-style homes range in price from $350,000 to $425,000. Most of these houses were built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Closer to Big Walnut Creek, some houses date back to the 1940s and ‘50s and are priced between $100,000 and $220,000. The houses within this price range are mainly ranch styles and split levels. “The homes along the creek sometimes get affected by flooding, but that hasn’t happened in quite a while,” Coolidge says. Most houses have attached garages. About 57% of residents rent their houses. According to Risk Factor, 41% of properties in Gould Park are likely to be severely affected by flooding in the next 30 years.

Sprawling greenspaces within and around Gould Park
Gould Park flourishes with wildlife due to its proximity to expansive greenspaces. “Sometimes we get a flock of turkeys that go through our backyard. We’ve seen lots of deer and hear owls quite often,” says resident Robin Coolidge. Cherrybottom Park runs along Big Walnut Creek. The conservation area does not have athletic fields, playgrounds or restrooms. It does have a nature trail leading to Big Walnut Creek. The 653-acre Blendon Woods Metro Park borders the community. Cross-country skiers and hikers can take advantage of trails that run for miles. There are also multiple play areas for children, open-air shelters, a disc golf course, an ice skating pond and a waterfowl refuge. “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 park has year-round programs to educate children in conservation and wildlife. Residents can also hit the fairways of The Golf Club at Little Turtle, just north of the park.

A winery, downtown entertainment and Buckeyes football
Central Ohio’s oldest urban winery is located in Gould Park. Wyandotte Winery, a community staple since 1977, is an intimate event space. All wine is fermented on the premises using Ohio grapes. This winery is open Thursday through Saturday, and it’s located in the heart of the neighborhood. The venue hosts local musicians and food trucks on Friday nights. Gould Park residents travel 15-½ miles to watch the Ohio State Buckeyes face off against other Big Ten Conference football teams at Ohio Stadium. Easton Town Center has an AMC theater. Musicians like Justin Timberlake and Bruce Springsteen perform at the downtown's Nationwide Arena.Getting around the Columbus metropolitan area
The streets are quiet enough for children to ride bikes down the street to friends' houses. People walk pets down the sidewalks. Gould Park is bordered by Interstate 270 and the major east-west highway of Ohio State Route 161. “I-270 is the outer belt in Columbus, so there is great access to the freeway,” Stanley says. Downtown Columbus is 12 miles southwest of Gould Park via Interstate 670. For big trips, John Glenn Columbus International Airport is 7-½ miles southwest via Interstate 270. The Central Ohio Transit Authority operates bus stops on Morse Road.

Big-box retail and diverse dining options
Easton Town Center is 3-½ miles southwest of Gould Park. “Easton is one of the premier shopping destinations in Columbus,” Stanley says. The mall has retailers like T.J. Maxx, Michaels, Nordstrom Rack, Macy’s and Walmart. It also has a Trader Joe’s. The shopping center offers several dining options. Condado Tacos serves filling Mexican dishes and salty margaritas. Smokey Bones is a hit for its smoked meats and draft beers. Residents travel 2-½ miles southeast to New Albany Square to eat at restaurants like Skyline Chili and Chipotle.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
