Summerwood has suburban streets with easy commutes

Just north of one of Columbus ’ busiest highways, Summerwood has a suburban feel with quiet streets and highly rated schools, while still being close to shopping and everyday conveniences. Its location is a big reason it appeals to professionals who commute to the area’s major job hubs on a regular basis. Contemporary homes and lower property taxes also make the neighborhood an easy sell for first-time buyers.

A competitive market with schools and taxes driving demand

Summerwood is known for its tidy streets, sidewalks everywhere, and well-kept lawns. Homes are close together, with most of the space going to private backyards that are sometimes fenced in. The majority of houses were built in the 1970s and ‘80s and lean toward New Traditional designs, often with Tudor details mixed in.

Prices typically fall between the high $200,000s and the low $400,000s, depending on size and features. Erik Hiss, an agent with Keller Williams Capital Partners, notes that homes move fast here. “That’s been a fairly steady market,” he says, pointing to property taxes and schools as key drivers. He goes on to say that many houses are in Columbus tax zones but Worthington and Dublin school districts. The median price for a single-family home is in the mid-$300,000s, lower than nearby areas like Olde Sawmill and Brookside Colony, comparable to Brookside Village and higher than Foxboro and Worthington Green.


Condos are also a popular option here. Townhouses and duplexes usually range from the high $100,000s to the low $200,000s and often come with monthly HOA fees between $100 and $200, which typically cover snow removal, lawn care and trash pickup.

Easy highway access puts jobs and shopping within reach

Interstate 270, known locally as The Outerbelt, is a high-traffic highway, giving locals easy access to shopping, entertainment and job hubs throughout the city. Downtown Columbus and New Albany ’s tech corridor are both about 15 miles away, while Dublin and Worthington are about 5. Two of the city’s biggest shopping centers are also relatively close, with Easton Town Center within 15 miles and Polaris Fashion Place within 10. The closest bus stops for the Central Ohio Transit Authority are along Sawmill Road, about 2 miles west.

Everyday shopping and local dining along Sawmill Road

For regular shopping trips and grocery runs, locals typically head to Sawmill Road: a popular shopping corridor with a Walmart Supercenter, Kroger and the AMC Dublin Village 18 movie theater. Though chain restaurants are most common here, it’s also the home to several locally owned options:

  • Cilantro Latin Fusion puts an upscale spin on Latin American classics like arepas, tostones and ceviche.
  • Anna’s Greek Cuisine aims for an authentic Greek cuisine experience with scratch-made recipes and wine tastings.
  • 101 Craft Kitchen specializes in high-end tavern food and a craft beer list.

Burlington, Target and many other familiar retailers are 3 miles southwest.

Nearby parks and trails offer space to walk, fish and play

Known for its peaceful lake and access to the Olentangy Greenway Trail, Antrim Park is one of the most popular public parks nearby. Locals visit to go hiking, fishing or take their kids to the playground. The Olentangy Trail itself is almost 14 miles long, stretching from Worthington to downtown Columbus, offering people a scenic walk or a convenient way to get to work. At 3 acres, Worthington Hills Park is a more traditional neighborhood spot with a picnic pavilion, exercise station and a well-kept field.
