Typical home styles and pricing compared to nearby areas

Homes cluster along the streets branching off Frantz Road, which runs through the middle of the neighborhood. Colonial, split-level and ranch-style homes are the most common, with most built in the 1980s. Two-car driveways with attached garages are typical, and sidewalks line most of the streets throughout the area. Barbara Heicher Gale, a Realtor with Keller Williams Consultants Realty, says that the area is best known as a prime spot for first-time homeowners. "The homes are affordably priced... They're good starter homes." she says.

Homes usually sell between the mid-$300,000s and high $500,000s, with a median price in the mid-$400,000s. That puts Shannon Heights generally above nearby neighborhoods like Tuttle, Tuttle West and Dexter Falls, close to prices in Hilliard and still less expensive than Dublin overall.

Condos are especially popular on the east side of the neighborhood and typically sell in the mid- to high $200,000s. Townhouses are concentrated in the center of the area, running from the mid-$200,000s to the low $300,000s. Multi-family housing often comes with monthly HOA fees, usually between $300 and $400, which cover trash, lawn care, sewage and other shared costs.

Why school zoning is a big draw for local families

Students in the neighborhood are zoned for Dublin City Schools, which Niche ranks as the best public school district in the Columbus metro area and one of the top 5 in the state. Thomas Elementary School is just outside Shannon Heights’ north side, which makes walking to school realistic for many local kids. Mark Warner, a Shannon Heights local with 25 years of real estate experience in the northern Columbus region, says having strong schools nearby adds to the feel of the area. “It’s definitely a family-friendly neighborhood,” he says. “The school district helps with that.”

How residents commute to downtown Columbus and nearby hubs

Interstate 270, known locally as The Outerbelt, gives locals a straightforward route to several local job hubs, including downtown Columbus, which is 15 miles away. New Albany ’s “Silicon Valley of the Midwest” is about 20 miles east, while downtown Dublin and Upper Arlington are both within about 5 miles. Pedestrians can take advantage of Central Ohio Transit Authority bus stops, which regularly dot Frantz Road.

Everyday shopping and local restaurants are close by

Shannon Heights is centered around Karric Square Shopping Center, which puts everyday services and a handful of popular restaurants close to home. Black Dog Pizzeria is a local favorite for pizza, pasta and sandwiches made with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Nearby, The Rail Craft Kitchen & Bar focuses on locally sourced burgers and steaks along with beer and cocktails from Ohio breweries and distilleries. For bigger shopping trips, The Mall at Tuttle Crossing is right next door. The nearest supermarket is an Aldi just across the river.
