Suburban living removed from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Columbus
Timberbrook is a half-century-old suburb on the western outskirts of Columbus. Residents know their neighbors by name. On the weekends, the air smells of barbecue and the streets buzz with the laughter of children on bikes. The neighborhood is occupied by a mix of older homeowners who raised their families there and young professionals who have decided to settle down. “It’s a great place to grow up; it’s friendly, it’s convenient, and it’s tucked away,” says Realtor Kathy Shiflet, who has lived in the neighborhood since childhood and now sells homes there with Coldwell Banker Realty.
