Between a major highway interchange and the Scioto River, Mill Run is a mixed-use community that blends contemporary housing with plenty of shopping and entertainment. Homebuyers are also drawn to the area for its access to job centers and a highly rated school district. Ongoing development promises new stores, restaurants and more homes.
Largely built in the late 1980s, Mill Run is mostly townhouses and multifamily condos, with a few single-family homes near Highpoint-Glen. Properties throughout the neighborhood feature Craftsman or ranch-inspired designs. Townhouses and condos sell between the high $100,000s and the low $300,000s, depending on size and features. Monthly HOA fees typically run between $200 and $400, covering services like lawn care, snow removal and common areas. Single-family homes are not often available, but recent sales have been around $400,000. With a median price in the low $300,000s, Mill Run is generally less expensive than nearby areas like Quarry Trails, Highpoint-Glen, Riverplace and Hilliard.
According to Tammy Marquardt, a Realtor with e-Merge Real Estate, the fact that Mill Run is zoned for Hilliard City Schools, but homeowners pay the lower Columbus property taxes, is a major draw to the neighborhood. According to Niche, the school district is among the top 10 in the Columbus metro area. Hilliard Davidson High School is known for its strong academic options, including College Credit Plus, where students earn college credits by taking approved courses while still in high school.
Instead of magnet schools or lottery systems, Hilliard City Schools uses open enrollment, letting families request a different school within the district if there’s room. Approval depends on available space and district rules, so placement isn’t guaranteed.
About half of Mill Run is a shopping and entertainment hub, with familiar big-box stores like Lowe’s and At Home mixed in. You’ll also find medical offices, a go-kart racing center and an Aldi around the corner near Brown Commerce Park. Chain restaurants make up most of the dining options, but there are still a few local spots in and around the neighborhood:
Locals frequently use the neighborhood's paved paths that wind around its ponds for walking and more. The nearby mile-long Scioto Run Nature Trail offers hikers and joggers a wooded route along a gentle stream. While there are no parks inside Mill Run’s boundaries, Marquardt points to several close options: “There’s Griggs Reservoir, which has tons of bike paths. There’s all the Hilliard Metro Parks, which connect to each other through the Rails to Trails. And there’s Quarry Trails Metro Park, which is probably the park I go to most. It’s got a great dog park in there and mountain bike paths.”
Barbara Heicher Gale, a Realtor with Keller Williams Consultants Realty, says the neighborhood’s location is a big part of what draws people in. She says it's “very close to restaurants and shopping. Very close to Dublin Road and [Ohio Route] 315; easy access to downtown.” Interstate 270 connects to Cemetery Road and Fishinger Boulevard, which can lead to heavy traffic, especially near the shopping area. Downtown Columbus is about 12 miles away, while downtown Hilliard is about 3 miles away. Central Ohio Transit Authority buses make regular stops along Fishinger, offering public transportation that connects riders across the Columbus metro area.
