"We treat the city like a neighborhood."

With over 43,000 residents, Grove City is the largest suburb in Franklin County. Despite its size, locals take pride in the locally driven, neighborly atmosphere the area has become known for. “It has that small-town feel people are looking for,” says Trevor Andrews, a Realtor at Re/Max Right Now. “The quaint downtown makes you feel a bit like you’re back in 1950.” With a 10-mile commute to Columbus and a thriving local economy, many residents come for job opportunities but stay for the community. “We’re very tight-knit, despite our size,” says Mayor Ike Stage. “We treat the city like a neighborhood.”
