St. Mary's is working toward being "the next big community"
Bordering Alum Creek, one of Columbus’ most scenic river corridors, people who live in St. Mary’s love access to the waterway, the trail that follows it, and the convenience of downtown Columbus. “I just think that this neighborhood is on the verge of being the next big community,” says Jackie Stinchfield, a broker and Realtor at Keller Williams Consultants Realty. “I know many young people who grew up in the suburbs and are young professionals, and they want to move to a more urban area like this.”
Saint Mary's is located just east of downtown Columbus, making it part of the city's urban core.
Saint Mary's walkability and access to public transportation are major selling points.

Most homes are in the price range of $150,000 to $250,000.

Public parks include bike trails and conservation areas
The Alum Creek Bike Trail closely follows the path of the waterway of the same name. The trail, popular among bikers, walkers and joggers, totals 25 miles and runs from the northern suburb of Westerville to Three Creeks Metro Park. A portion of the path goes through the southern section of the neighborhood and connects to Hayden Park, which has just over 10 acres of mainly green space; there’s trail access and, with a permit, you can use the archery range on site. Cassady Park is a two-and-a-half-acre conservation area on the other side of Interstate 670 and Alum Creek. The Columbus Metropolitan Library has its Shepard Branch located in the neighborhood. “One of the reasons that the clients who bought the Foursquare love the area is the proximity to the library,” Stinchfield says. It went through an extensive renovation that was completed in 2016. The facility has plenty of computer stations and a place for patrons to meet and study. There are self-checkout stations and a touchscreen where you can look up the availability of books.
Hayden Park has nice walking paths throughout which connect directly to the Alum Creek Trail.
