A quiet neighborhood close to major job centers

Known for its privacy and variety of home styles, Indian Hills is one of the more popular neighborhoods in northern Columbus. While it is close to major job centers, the area still feels peaceful and quiet, and it also has lower taxes than most Columbus suburbs. Homes here are more expensive than in many nearby communities, but many residents feel the larger houses and overall quality of life make that worth it.

Larger homes and varied architecture shape the market here

With its upscale homes, landscaped yards, and shaded cul-de-sacs, Indian Hills offers a classic suburban setting while still benefiting from Columbus city taxes. “Bigger homes, lower taxes,” says Chris Shea, a Realtor with Keller Williams Consultants Realty. “That’s where people go when they want to live in the area without paying the higher taxes found in other suburbs.” Homes in the neighborhood are well maintained and come in a wide range of styles. “There’s a great selection of architectural styles,” says Theresa Mesaros, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. “It has everything from midcentury to colonial.” Midcentury split-levels and ranch-style homes make up much of the neighborhood, with prices typically ranging from the low $300,000s to the low $600,000s. Since the 2000s, more traditional-style homes have been built throughout the area, often selling between the mid-$600,000s and $1.1 million. These newer homes tend to feature open floor plans and larger square footage, though many older houses still offer 1,700 square feet or more. Monthly HOA fees are common and can reach up to $205, covering services such as snow removal and access to community amenities. The median home price in Indian Hills sits in the mid-$500,000s, which is higher than The Gables and Sycamore Hills, but in line with Linworth Village and Brookside Woods.

Indian Hills falls within two school districts, with Worthington Schools serving the northern part of the neighborhood and Columbus City Schools covering the southern end. Several popular private school options are nearby as well, including Worthington Christian School, along with The Wellington School and St. Andrew School in Upper Arlington. “A lot of these families choose to spend the money on private school,” says Jamie Maze, Realtor and team leader of Maze and Company. “They look for neighborhoods like this so they are not paying as much in taxes.”
