Newer homes at a reasonable range
Homes are mainly from the late 1980s and 1990s, with the newest additions added around 2015. Construction in the area is complete, although the potential to grow exists. “Most of Hilliard is newer. There’s still a lot of farmland that can be developed without getting rid of the parks and other green spaces,” says John Kohlhepp, Realtor with Keller Williams Capital Partners Realty. The housing market is active, with open listings averaging about two weeks. Prices range between $225,000 and $470,000 for New Traditional, split-level, ranch-style and Colonial-inspired single-family homes. Front lawns are small to mid-sized, sporting short driveways, compact gardens and well-loved basketball hoops. Shade trees and sidewalks line wide roads. Many homeowners decorate exteriors for the fall and winter holidays, making Sweetwater a festive spot to drive or stroll through.

Busy roads offer convenience but slower commutes
Sweetwater has immediate access to two important roads, Hilliard Rome Road and Interstate 70. However, this means more traffic and noise within the area. “Traffic-wise, it’s pretty bad. Once you go past the off-ramp, for whatever reason, turning left at that McDonald’s onto Renner Road takes forever,” says Kohlhepp. The areas around the interstate continue to grow, so plans are slowly being made to improve traffic flow. “The best infrastructure thing they could do is build another exit because the only way to get in is off 70. That’s not ideal,” Kohlhepp says. Alternative transportation includes public bus stops and bike lanes along Hilliard Rome Road, and some homes are within walking distance of the road’s retail hotspots. The neighborhood is within 3 miles of Interstate 270 and OhioHealth Doctors Hospital, and John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 19 miles away.
Authentic Asian fare near many national brands
Multiple commercial centers are along Hilliard Rome Road, the area’s primary thoroughfare. Kroger, E&H Ace Hardware, Sam’s Club and Kohl’s cover a variety of needs, and restaurants fill the spaces between their brick-and-mortar stores. Ye’s Asian Kitchen serves authentic Chinese dishes with a twist, using ingredients like jellyfish, duck and soy protein to cater to diverse palates. Submarine House broadcasts the game while customers order cheesesteaks, and spicy wings are a specialty at Roadhouse Wings & Grille. Market at Hilliard shopping center is another spot for nationally recognized brands, like Target and OfficeMax, with a Walmart Supercenter around the corner. Near the Interstate 70 exit ramp are chain restaurants and an AMC Columbus 10 movie theater.
