In the early 1960s, a new subdivision was planned north of Ohio Dominican University off Sunbury Road. “It was a neighborhood that African Americans primarily built because that was the available land. They built nice homes,” says Henry Bland, a Realtor with H.C. Bland Realty. The subdivision of Teakwood Heights and the neighborhood of Teakwood was born.
“When that subdivision was constructed, it was a hodgepodge of architectural styles because the homes were all custom built,” Bland says. There are primarily two-story homes, some with a modern touch, split-level, and some ranch-style. They were built mainly in the 1960s, with some in the early '70s. Although some homes show their age and need renovation, most are in good shape. “The houses in that era were built with better materials. Hardwood floors, for example, were durable. They didn’t skimp on materials because they were cheap back then,” Bland says. The square footage is between 1,500 and 2,300 square feet, and the price range is between $220,000 and $300,000.
The most prominent neighbor to the homes in Teakwood is Ohio Dominican University. Home to 1,700 students, the Roman Catholic school was founded in 1911 and offers undergraduate degrees in 40 majors and nine graduate degree programs. Some of the homes in Teakwood back up to Panther Stadium, home to Ohio Dominican University’s football team. The athletes at the school compete in Division II, and their athletic conference has in-state rivals like Ashland University and Tiffin University. Close by is The Charles School at Ohio Dominican University, which opened in 2007 to all students entering ninth grade. Those who attend can graduate with a high school diploma and up to 62 hours of college credit. The hours of credit are equivalent to an associate degree. Graduates are not obligated to attend Ohio Dominican University.
Teakwood is in the Columbus City School District. The South Mifflin STEM Academy serves prekindergarten through sixth-grade students, and Niche says that the school has a 14-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio and a B-minus grade for the quality of the teaching staff. From seventh grade on through 12th, kids in Teakwood attend the Linden-McKinley STEM School
. The school has advanced placement courses in English, literature, calculus, government and US history. Niche says the school has a 20-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio and over 800 students.
One of the area's staples is the Brentnell Community Center on Brentnell Avenue. It opened as a haven to provide activities for people in the surrounding area. There’s a fitness room, a place to do arts and crafts and even shoot pool. Brentnell Community Center is a periodic stop for a mobile fresh produce market that rotates among Columbus area community centers from April through December. The produce is available for eligible families. Alongside the community center is a playground, and behind the facility are tennis courts and a basketball court. Still further out is ample green space that can be used for a soccer or neighborhood football game.
The subdivision of Teakwood Heights and the neighborhood of Teakwood may be small, but there’s a sense of loyalty and pride among the people who live there. “There are those who have lived in that subdivision since the beginning, and there are even some instances where people pass the house on to the next generation as an inheritance,” Bland says.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
