Residential neighborhood in the middle of everything

Tucked away in rolling greenery between Easton Town Center and the suburb of New Albany, Cherry Bottom is an ideal location in the northeast Columbus suburbs flush with nearby shopping destinations. It’s also home to a nationally recognized taqueria that’s been serving up authentic Mexican fare in the neighborhood for nearly a decade. Realtor Lee Ritchie of Re/Max Partners said Cherry Bottom is becoming “very attractive” for home buyers. “There are a lot of people who’ve been priced out of the New Albany market, but who still want to live in the area,” Ritchie said. “It’s close to Easton and an easy commute to downtown Columbus. You can really be anywhere in the city in 30 minutes.”

Well-trimmed lawns

Convenient location

A big part of the appeal for Cherry Bottom residents is the neighborhood’s central location. It’s only minutes from Easton Town Center, ranked the No. 1 Retail Center Experience in America by Chain Store Age magazine. The town center is home to more than 200 shops, a Trader Joes, Whole Foods Market, Target and Costco. It's also only a short drive to New Albany, a fast-growing suburb and the future home of Intel’s new semiconductor manufacturing campus known as “Ohio One.” The $20 billion development is expected to generate thousands of jobs and drive a significant amount of growth in the area.
