Suburban Neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio

Large single-family homes from the late 1900s
Throughout Olde Sawmill, wide streets and sidewalks pave the way. The majority of homes were constructed between 1960 and 1990. Most have private driveways, and some come with two-car garages. Architectural styles vary, but many houses have Tudor-inspired half timbering or Colonial Revival-style details. There are also a few 1980s contemporary-style residences with a mix of brick and vinyl siding. Houses average around 2000 square feet, and they're settled on lots about a quarter acre in size. Prices for single-family homes generally fall between $350,000 and $500,000. There are also some condos in the western part of the community, which buyers may find in the $225,000 to $240,000 range.Olde Sawmill Park and storybook friends at the Northwest Library
While large yards provide some space for outdoor activities, Olde Sawmill Park — situated next to the elementary school — is a nearly 9-acre space with a wide-open field for kids to run, a playground and picnic tables. The Northwest Library, also within the community, has a children’s area filled with sculptures and paintings of beloved storybook characters. The library stays open until 9 p.m., and locals can come by to study, take language programs or get computer help. There are pickleball courts and a cricket pitch at Emerald Fields park, just across Sawmill Road. World-class golfers come to the Muirfield Village Golf Club, about 6 miles from Olde Sawmill. The private 18-hole course was designed by golf great, Jack Nicklaus, and Golf Digest named it among the best golf courses in America. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is also less than 5 miles away.Top rated Dublin City Schools

Past winners of this invitational tournament include Tiger Woods and Greg Norman.Bus and car travel from Olde Sawmill
