Everyday living feels quiet but connected in Worthington Crossing

In northern Columbus, Worthington Crossing offers a convenient location with a tucked-away, suburban feel. The community appeals to buyers and renters working near the Outerbelt as well as those seeking access to Worthington Schools. The day-to-day is relatively quiet, with parks, trails and local dining woven between subdivisions of townhouses, condos and a smattering of single-family homes. Worthington Crossing tends to attract buyers looking for a calm setting with practical access to jobs, schools and everyday conveniences.

What home prices and inventory look like in Worthington Crossing

Inventory is limited, and when listings do come up, they tend to move quickly. Recent prices for townhouses and condos in HOA-managed sections, such as Worthington Glen North, have ranged from the low to mid $200,000s. Monthly HOA dues are often under $300, usually covering lawn care, common-area maintenance, and trash and snow removal.

Single-family homes can be found in the neighborhood’s heart along sidewalk-lined streets. These properties are not part of an HOA and are even rarer on the market than condos and townhouses, though a few recent sales have been between in the low $400,000s to low $500,000s.

How Columbus taxes pair with Worthington schools nearby

Worthington Crossing appeals to many buyers for the schools and the tax scenario. Since the neighborhood falls within Columbus city limits, residents pay Columbus taxes, which are lower than Worthington taxes. However, Worthington Schools serves the neighborhood, and schools in this district are highly rated, including local options such as Worthingway Middle School and Thomas Worthington High School. Families can pursue school choice through lottery-based magnet schools and intra-district open enrollment, with placement dependent on capacity. The district generally does not accept out-of-district transfers.

Worthington Christian School is a highly rated, faith-based private option on the neighborhood’s east side.

Easy access to Polaris jobs and convenient highway connections

The Polaris corridor, a mixed-use development about a mile north, doubles as an employment hub. Offices and corporate campuses are set along Polaris Parkway, notably JPMorgan Chase McCoy Center. From there, access to Polaris Parkway sets up quick connections to Interstate 71 and greater Columbus.

Southbound, I-71 is a straight shot into downtown Columbus, just over 15 miles away. The highway also makes quick work of connecting drivers to Interstate 270, the Outerbelt, for commutes to job hubs like:

  • Dublin and Easton, both within about 15 miles
  • Hilliard and John Glenn Columbus International Airport, roughly within 20 miles
  • Grove City, generally within 30 miles

Big-name mall shopping and local eats close to home

Polaris Fashion Place is within a short drive, offering plenty of options for retail therapy, dining and entertainment. Anchored by Macy’s, JCPenney, DICK'S House of Sport and Von Maur, the two-story indoor mall draws shoppers to Polaris Parkway, which is lined with shopping plazas and restaurants. That said, Worthington Crossing has some good eats near the corner of Lazelle Road and Sancus Boulevard, including bars and pubs like Fenders as well as local spots such as Crazzy Greek for takeout and Shibam Coffee for Yemeni-inspired pick-me-ups.

Lazelle Woods Park is conveniently located near the middle of Worthington Crossing.

Paved trails and wooded parks shape everyday outdoor life

Many subdivisions have a wooded, trail connection to Lazelle Woods Park. The sports hub has a playground and athletic fields, along with paved walking loops shaded by mature trees. On the south end, a paved trail cuts through the woods, connecting the park to the Lazelle Woods Community Center and a nearby cul-de-sac in Worthington Park. Several other parks sit within a short drive, offering more room to roam:

  • Sharon Woods Metro Park spans hundreds of acres with pet-friendly trails, picnic areas and fishing lakes, along with sledding hills and a nature preserve.
  • Alum Creek North Park follows its namesake creek with an amphitheater, sports courts, a playground, picnic space and shared-use paths for walking and biking.
  • Highbanks Metro Park stretches along the Olentangy River with access ramps, pet-friendly trails, sledding hills and a protected nature preserve.
