Worthington Crossing
Development and growth in the last 20 years
Thanks to the opening of Polaris Fashion Place in 2001, plans for businesses and housing followed in this area, which is about 15 miles north of downtown Columbus along Interstate 71. Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy’s are two anchor stores. Now, another potential growth spurt is coming. “You have to look to the future. With the thousands of Intel employees potentially moving to the area, the shopping and the schools will bring them here and access to the interstates,” Joshi says.Single-family home or condo
Along Worthington Crossing Drive, single-family homes that are mainly two-story modern contemporary, along with colonial with three to four bedrooms, a two-car attached garage and between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet of living space are lined up with little distance between one property and another. The price range is between $350,000 and $500,000. Condos are also prominent, mainly on the north and west sides of the neighborhood. Some condos were built in the early 1990s, priced between $200,000 and $250,000, with two to three bedrooms, and some have a one-car detached garage. The Traditions at Polaris condo development was built in the mid-2000s with the shared-wall units worth about $300,000.
