Worthington Park
Suburban Neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio
Franklin County 43081
Comparable homes at lower prices
Neighbors can often be seen leisurely strolling past landscaped lawns and mature trees throughout the neighborhood. While sidewalks are aplenty in the area, there are no bike lanes, unlike the streets of neighboring Worthington Highlands. However, Worthington Park has comparable housing styles to those of surrounding areas; buyers can find many one- and two-story homes with two-car garages, vinyl siding and traditional or Colonial-inspired architecture. A few Tudor-style properties with prominent half-timbering are also in the neighborhood. The appeal of Worthington Park is its less expensive price points, as listings typically cost between $355,000 and $450,000. Condos in the area go for even less, costing between $240,000 and $275,000.Shooting hoops at Lazelle Woods Park
For outdoor recreation, locals can shoot hoops at nearby Lazelle Woods Park, a 34-acre greenspace with basketball courts, a community center, a playground and a 1-mile walking loop. Sancus Park, less than 1 mile away, is also popular among school-age children for its shaded play area. One mile away is Sharon Woods Metro Park, a sprawling woodland oasis with massive oak, hickory and beech trees. Alongside shelters and picnic areas are several interconnecting trails visitors can walk, hike or bike. In spring and summer, locals also flock to Inniswood Metro Gardens, a grandiose 123-acre botanical garden 6 miles west of the community.Top 100 ranking Thomas Worthington High
Worthington Park Elementary School sits at the heart of the neighborhood and is within walking distance from many residences. Students attend Worthingway Middle School after graduating from their elementary years; both schools receive a B-plus score from Niche. High schoolers attend Thomas Worthington High School, which has an A-minus rating and is ranked among the top 100 high schools in Ohio. For a private option, the neighborhood is bordered by the unrated Worthington Christian School, a K-12 academy and a two-time winner of the prestigious National Blue Ribbon award for exemplary high performance.Hitting the highway to downtown
Hamrick shares that the area is relatively car-dependent, so having several major highways nearby is a notable convenience of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is within 2 miles of Interstates 71 and 270, U.S. State Route 23 and Ohio State Route 750. Bus stops are along Sancus Boulevard, and locals are under 15 miles from Downtown Columbus and John Glenn Columbus International Airport.Shopping spree any day at Polaris Fashion Place
Polaris Fashion Place is a major regional shopping destination just north of Worthington Park. Established in 2001, the two-story mall features more than 100 stores and casual dining destinations and consistently ranks in the top 25 attractions in Columbus. Molly Woo’s Asian Bistro is known for its Pan-Asian fare and traditional décor, while Kitchen Social is a notoriously busy eatery serving a diverse menu, from seafood to tacos. Hamrick also shares, "They just opened up the first and only revolving sushi restaurant in the area. That’s been really big news. They don’t take reservations, and the line is always 2 hours long.” Locals can get weekly grocery shopping done at Costco or Kroger. Family-friendly fun is also within reach. Kids can fly high at Big Air Trampoline Park, and groups can throw strikes at Star Lanes, a bowling alley with an arcade, bar and restaurant. Polaris is only 1 mile from a Topgolf driving range, the only one in Central Ohio. Westerville, a historic town with around 40,000 residents, is 3 miles east of Worthington Park. For a night out, some locals stroll along vibrant State Street in Westerville’s Uptown district, which is filled with historic buildings, boutique shops, fine dining and art galleries.

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.
