Living next to nature in Brown

Brown Township is the crossing between Ohio’s natural wildlife and suburban living. With the Big Darby Creek on its western border, the neighborhood is about preserving and protecting the land and ecosystems. “To protect the wildlife, we need to protect the land that’s near it,” says Brown Township Board of Trustees member Pam Sayre. “Brown works as a buffer between the land and the rest of Columbus.”

Brown neighborhoods feel more rural

Homes in Brown often have three to four bedrooms, giving residents plenty of space to relax at home. Craftsman models are common, usually offering around 3,000 square feet, and some homes in the farming community have five-acre lots. Many homes have two-car garages and wide driveways that can comfortably fit two SUVs, so street parking isn’t necessary. Streets may have some younger trees but are often more open for a more intimate community experience. Homebuyers can find some older ranch-style homes scattered throughout the township, offering the same number of bedrooms as the Craftsman. “It’s for people who want to go out into a piece of the country and aren’t really interested in living in denser quarters,” says Sayre.
Most homes range from $450,000 to $650,000. Homes closer to Hilliard with more bedrooms may cost closer to $850,000.

Celebrating the local fire station in Brown

The neighborhood borders Hilliard, giving residents access to its events and celebrations. Freedom Fest takes place on the Fourth of July in Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park and offers live music, food trucks and games before the fireworks shop. In the winter, the annual tree lighting brings seasonal festivities to the area. “Every five years, we’re trying to do an event at the firehouse to celebrate the building of the fire station,” Sayre says. It has informational centers and a way for the community to get together.

Find amenities along major motorways around Brown

Brown is 14 miles from Columbus, which residents can access via I-70. Because most amenities are located outside of the township’s boundaries, this is a more car-dependent neighborhood. I-270 has many shops and commercial outlets situated along it. OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital is 9.5 miles away. “We like being out here,” Sayre says. “We like the peace and serenity.”
