Appeal across many groups
With miles of open, undeveloped green space and some farm animals as neighbors, Troy Township, just north of the city of Delaware, about 40 miles north of Columbus, is an area that’s gaining increased appeal. “Old and young find rural areas attractive for different reasons,” says Janelle Blue, a Realtor with knowledge of the Delaware area who’s been selling homes for nearly 10 years. “Older folks like it for the slower pace, and younger families like it for the affordability and the access to a better school district.” Route 23 is a central north-south corridor running through the township, but the goal is to preserve the rural aspect of the area.

Houses near significant bodies of water
On the eastern side of Route 23, Delaware Lake spills into the northern part of the Olentangy River, meaning some homes feature waterfront property, whether the lake or river. The majority will have between 2 and 10 acres of land with Cape Cod, ranch-style and split-level architecture styles. Southern portions of the township closer to the city of Delaware could have pockets of more contemporary homes that are closer together but still on large parcels of land. The price ranges from $300,000 to $600,000, with the price per square foot just above $200. “Another attractive piece for younger people is that often they’re priced out of the homes closer to the city, and the property taxes here are lower,” Blue says. The typical home in Troy Township will have three to four bedrooms, a three-car garage, at least a partial basement and between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet of living space.

Parks in Delaware County
The parks in Delaware County, including Troy Township, are unique because their focus is preservation, whether it be wildlife or history. Gallant Farm Preservation Park is a Depression-era farm with period furnishings, an 1890s barn and costumed interpreters completing the day's chores. Special events during the year include an antique tractor show and special winter activities. Across Buttermilk Hill Road is Gallant Woods, also part of the county’s Preservation system. Owls are typical in the woods, and bodies of water in the park attract shorebirds, like sandpipers.
