Home value is a big attractor
Surrounding the eastern Columbus suburb of Pickerington, the township of Violet has grown over the past several years, and it’s continuing as the area prepares for the influx of jobs 20 miles to the north in the New Albany area. Intel plans to open two computer chip factories in 2025 and employ more than 3,000 people. This part of east Columbus is getting popular because buyers can get more for their money. “Many buyers looking in the Columbus area hunt around at more expensive areas like Worthington and Westerville and usually settle in this area because they can get more value for the price of the home,” says Dana Thorla, a Realtor with e-Merge Real Estate with over 20 years of experience selling in the Pickerington area.
Many homes in the Violet neighborhood are situated on lots over 10 acres.

Wide variety in a growing area
Living in Violet Township has options, whether in a subdivision with newer homes or an older home on multiple acres of land. “Because of the variety of home styles, the price is going to vary as well, says Thorla. “The homes can be anywhere from around $300,000 to just over $1 million. It all depends on what you want.” The price per square foot is just under $200. The oldest homes were built in the 1970s with three to four bedrooms, a two-car garage and at least a partial basement. There are split-level, ranch-style on nearly 10 acres and more modern contemporary designs.

Airports to the west, a lake to the east

However, it’s mainly a military and cargo airport. Buckeye Lake State Park is a popular tourist attraction about a 20-minute drive to the east.

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.
