A condo community with low taxes

Slate Hill may be on the far side of Columbus, but residents will feel like they are living close to downtown. Just north of the community is Polaris Shopping Center, offering various retailers, restaurants and supermarkets, so residents can take their time shopping. The community itself is predominately condos, with diverse styles and options to accommodate different lifestyles and housing needs. The community is still within Columbus city limits, so residents will pay lower Columbus taxes, but Slate Hill students will attend Worthington schools instead of Columbus’s. Along with Worthington’s local events, residents can feel connected in this part of Columbus, while still living farther from the city center.

New Traditional condos in homeowners associations

Sitting in bundles along the narrow sidewalks, New Traditional townhome-style condos make up most of Slate Hill. Some communities, like Worthington Heights, offer freestanding, detached condos with more of a split-level home look and more room for residents to spread out. Condos throughout Slate Hill typically sell between $175,000 and $300,000, with detached condos with more bedrooms typically going for higher. “All of them have homeowners association fees, and they all keep up their property relatively well,” says Realtor Andy Whiteman with RE/MAX Achievers. However, many homebuyers in the area use the condos here as an investment opportunity. “The attraction of buying a condo here is that you can rent it out. You live there for a while and then build equity,” Whiteman says. On the western side of Slate Hill, Alta View Village Court features a small collection of New Traditional single-family homes built around 2018 and along a street lined with sidewalks and young trees. These properties will typically sell between $400,000 and $500,000.
