Most homes are midcentury split-levels or ranch-style
Midcentury split-level and ranch-style architecture make up the majority of homes in the area. Quarter-acre lots are typical, and surrounding old-growth trees frequently outdate their accompanying properties by centuries. The median price for a single-family home in Minerva Park is in the low $300,000s, comparable to nearby communities like Gahanna, Whitehall and Blendon Woods, but less than the median prices of Westerville, Worthington and Bexley. The location of these homes is an important driving factor, says Craig Buehler, a Realtor with the Powell Buehler Group. “People are looking for that niche where they get the Columbus taxes and the suburban schools,” he says. “And Minerva Park allows for that.”
