Worthington Park has a family friendly atmosphere and a convenient location, with downtown Columbus about 15 miles away. The neighborhood is technically in the city, but homes are zoned for schools like Worthington Park Elementary School. Residents are minutes from Polaris, the busiest shopping district in northern Columbus. There are plenty of parks surrounding the neighborhood, making it easy to get outdoors.
You’re going to find more single-family homes in Worthington Park than you would in nearby communities like Slate Hill, where condos and townhouses are more common. Most of these New Traditional homes were built in the early 2000s, but some date back to the 1980s. The median price for a single-family property is higher than in most of Columbus, but lower than in Worthington. Prices range from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$500,000s. There are some condos in the neighborhood along Sancus Boulevard. While units rarely go on sale, you can expect to pay between the mid-$100,000s and the low $300,000s. Almost half of the residents in Worthington Park are renters, living in one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Although Worthington Park is in Columbus, students go to school outside of the city limits in the highly rated Worthington City School District. “Worthington schools for the price you can get [here] is pretty unbeatable,” says Realtor John Kohlhepp with the Embark Real Estate Group at Keller Williams Capital Partners Realty, who lives in Worthington. Thomas Worthington High School, which also receives high marks, has special programs like the Entrepreneurship Business Academy. The district offers school choice through intradistrict open enrollment.
Within minutes of Worthington Park, you can be in the Polaris North neighborhood at the largest shopping hub in northern Columbus. At the center of it all is Polaris Fashion Place, where you can:
While there are well-known shops and restaurants in nearby communities, there are also local options. The longstanding Carfagna's Market & Ristorante is an Italian restaurant and merchant that opened in 1937 and has grown into a community favorite. “Carfagna's is really fantastic...” Kohlhepp says. “It has a really good wine selection.” He also recommends the Olentangy River Brewing Company, which is in Orange and partners with Roosevelt Coffee Roasters. “You can drink coffee, and then at some point switch to beer,” Kohlhepp says. “So, there’s something for everybody.” Flint Station is closer to home and has live music, line dancing and trivia.
Because of the proximity to Polaris, Kohlhepp says that Worthington Park is “definitely car-centric.” Interstate 71 offers a straightforward commute to downtown Columbus. Still, it can take up to half an hour during rush hour. Even driving to the stores can take a while, especially if Sancus Boulevard is congested. “You have to leave a buffer in there,” Kohlhepp says. “We used to send our kid to daycare in Polaris, and some days it would take five minutes to get to daycare, other days it would take 20.” Public transportation is limited, but the Central Ohio Transit Authority offers a bus service along Sancus Boulevard.
