Growing rural neighborhood just a quick drive to Columbus
Close to the heart of Delaware County, Berlin Township balances rural charm with the convenience of suburban life. Just 5 miles from the city of Delaware and 22 miles from Downtown Columbus, the area is transitioning from a humble rural community into an expanding hub for residential development. Homebuyers looking to benefit from the growth of the Delaware and Columbus area while having reliable space for themselves will enjoy Berlin’s radiant landscapes and rural suburban lifestyle. “It’s an area that’s seeing a lot of rapid growth,” says Jeff Cutler, the primary broker and owner of J.W. Cutler and Associates Realty. Cutler has more than 42 years of brokerage experience and is a longtime resident of the area.

Studying to shape Ohio's future
The township is served by the Olentangy Local School District. “The development of Berlin Township is really being driven by the great schools,” Cutler says. Students in the area attend Johnnycake Corners Elementary School and Berkshire Middle School, which both hold A grades on Niche. Berlin High School also holds an A rating on Niche and had 17 student athletes sign with college sports programs in 2023.
I-71 and US-23 keep commuters moving
Berlin is a reliable choice for commuters traveling to large Columbus area employers, like JPMorgan Chase in the Polaris area and the upcoming Intel campus in New Albany. Residents can access the Columbus area by taking Interstate 71, less than a mile away from the neighborhood in the Berkshire area. Commuters can also travel in and out of the area by taking US-23.
Residents have easy access to markets and restaurants big and small
Cheshire Market is a reliable convenience store on Cheshire Road, providing a quick stop for picking up milk or grabbing some bait before a day of fishing. But this Berlin staple attracts locals from all of Central Ohio with its thin-crust pizza and stromboli subs. Sticky Fingers serves up ice cream during the summer months next door, and immediately to the south, Tavern at the Creek offers reliable happy hour food and drinks year-round. With Delaware only 5 miles west on US-36, Berlin residents can also easily access regional and national favorites like Meijer, Aldi, City Barbeque, Raising Cane’s and Kohl’s. To the township’s immediate east on US-36 in Berkshire, fast and casual options like White Castle, Wendy’s, Taco Bell and Cracker Barrel make it easy to grab a quick meal after work. A mix of premium and everyday brands is also available at the Tanger Outlets shopping complex, from Old Navy to Michael Kors.

Residents hungry for adventure can also take up wakeboarding, Jet Skiing or mountain biking within the park. Golfers can aim for a low score at the Double Eagle Golf Club within the neighborhood. This invite-only club was co-designed by pro golfer Tom Weiskopf and regularly lands on lists of Ohio’s best golf courses.
Berlin brews and local listening
Immediately east of the neighborhood, Sam’s Bar hosts live music, open mic nights and football watch parties in Lewis Center. 4 miles north of Berlin Township, residents can enjoy local music, family time and craft beer at Henmick Farm and Brewery.
