Whitehall is a growing Columbus suburb that focuses on community
Whitehall is an inner-ring suburb just east of Columbus that is growing, from housing options to job options. Some of the largest employers in Central Ohio are based in the city. At its heart, Whitehall is still a small, close-knit community with plenty of parks and local restaurants. Residents come together for events like the Whitehall Food Truck & Fun Fest. Downtown Columbus is less than 10 miles away, and you can usually get there in 15 minutes. While cars are the most reliable way to get around, public transportation is expanding.
Whitehall, located just east of Columbus, offers affordable living with city conveniences.
Home to about 20,000 residents, Whitehall balances suburban comfort and urban proximity.

Home prices in Whitehall trend lower than nearby communities
Amidst all of the growth, Whitehall maintains its strong sense of community. “A lot of places you go, you get swallowed up in the city,” says Mayor Michael Bivens. “What sets Whitehall apart is the way we harmoniously live together. Neighbors actually know each other. We still sit out on our front porches together.” While there are some older Traditional houses, most of the homes you’ll find were built in the mid-1900s. These include split-levels, cottages and ranch-style houses. Prices generally range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$400,000s and are typically less expensive than The Fairway, which is in Whitehall beside the private Columbus Country Club. The city has a large renter population.
“What I see on the horizon is sustainable growth and encouraging density,” Bivens says. Part of this comes from a push for more housing. The city has invested in income-restricted housing options, with the Enclave on Main and another project set to open in 2028. Bivens says that these developments are so, “all types of residents can live here and find their forever home."
Major employers offer economic stability
Employment is one of the area’s biggest draws, with companies like Discover Financial Services and the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support at the Defense Supply Center Columbus based in Whitehall. “They contribute significantly to the economic stability of our city, from job creation and workforce development to business attractions and community,” Bivens says.
Cars make the 15-minute commute to downtown Columbus easy
Bivens says that personal vehicles are the main way people get around. “We are definitely well-connected to every major corridor in Central Ohio, from East Broad Street and Hamilton Road to I-270, making the commute in Whitehall easily accessible to all major employers in Central Ohio,” he says. The Central Ohio Transit Authority has bus stops throughout the city, and a new Bus Rapid Transit line is expected to be running down East Main Street by 2030.
Whitehall City Schools serve the community
Whitehall City School District receives average ratings. The C. Ray Williams Early Childhood Center prepares students for kindergarten with half-day or full-day programs. The district offers school choice through interdistrict enrollment, and there are charter schools like the Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy, which offers kindergarten through eighth grade.
Whitehall-Yearling High School is part of the Whitehall City School District.
Rosemore Middle School offers a variety of clubs for students to join, from art club to STEM.

Residents spend their time at community parks and events
Community parks offer endless options for getting outside, including:
Whitehall Community Park, with a playground, wildflowers and a disc golf course
The Whitehall Community Park YMCA, which has a full calendar of programming
Central Bark, where small and large dogs have space to run and play
John Bishop Memorial Park, which has a splashpad, basketball courts and baseball diamonds
The parks and recreation department also manages youth sports leagues, including soccer and hockey, and hosts the Music in the Park Series at the John LaCorte Amphitheater in John Bishop Memorial Park. Another popular event is the Whitehall Food Truck & Fun Fest, which has dozens of food trucks, craft vendors and live music every July.
The amphitheater at John Bishop Memorial Park is ideal for community gatherings and outdoor events.
A favorite gathering spot, Whitehall Community Park features playgrounds and ample green space.

Whitehall's local restaurants cater to a variety of cravings
Whitehall has several locally owned restaurants that appeal to a wide range of tastes. Some options are:
King Gyros Greek Restaurant, as seen on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”
Flavor 91 Bistro, which sources its ingredients from Ohio farms
Lalibela Restaurant, which serves Ethiopian food
The Sandwich Man, a community staple known for its hearty sandwiches
There are also chain restaurants and big-box stores like Target nearby. Grocery options include Walter’s IGA and Kroger. You can shop from local farmers at Market on the Green, which is on Tuesday evenings in July and August.
The Sandwich Man, is a local staple that's family-owned and operated in Whitehall.

Any golfer knows that hitting that first shot off the tee firmly onto the fairway is a good feeling. Renters and buyers living in The Fairway, a neighborhood east of Downtown Columbus tucked behind the Whitehall area, know that feeling all too well. Located next to the expansive Columbus Country Club, the area's abundance of trees and proximity to Big Walnut Creek provides an attractive landscape. While the area is strictly residential, schools are just outside the neighborhood, and restaurants are within 1 mile.
The Fairway's roads were made for leisurely drives through the trees. Wide, two-way roads stretch past sprawling grass lawns lined with neat shrubbery and the occasional sidewalk. Homes are from the 1960s and 1970s and "were built for sergeants and personnel from the nearby Defense Supply Center Columbus," says Craig Curry, a Realtor with e-Merge Real Estate who's sold in the area. The primary styles are two-story brick homes, split-levels, ranch and some half-timbered and stucco-sided properties. Depending on location, prices can vary quite a bit. "Fairway Boulevard is the main road that runs by the course, and on one side of that street, there are million-dollar homes, while on the other side, the price is more around $300,000," Curry says. The exact range is between $240,000 and $400,000, while the larger homes off Fairway Boulevard sit between $560,000 and $800,000. Regardless of a home's price or style, Curry says, "More often than not, you're going to get at least a partial basement and a two-car garage." The neighborhood has a CAP Index crime score of 6, versus the national average of 4. This is due to above-average scores for property crime, with an 8 score for burglary. The Whitehall Police Department, located only 1-1/2 miles from The Fairway, is working to mitigate break-ins.
Outdoor recreation is close by in two directions. Two the north, Columbus Country Club is accepting new memberships. Golf balls fly on the 18-hole championship course and beginner-friendly Par 3 course. The club also has tennis and aquatic programming, as well as a vibrant social calendar that includes speakeasy nights, wine dinners and an end-of-summer Dog Swim. Just south of The Fairway are walking paths, sports fields and a playground at John Bishop Park on Etna Road. When the summer's sweltering heat arrives, the park's splash pad features multiple geysers, spray jets and misters guaranteed to keep kids cool. A partnership between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the City of Whitehall Parks and Recreation Department brought a new space in 2023; skaters of all ages can join clinics at the John Bishop Park Roller Hockey Rink throughout August and September.
Residents travel about 1 mile for dining along South Hamilton Road and East Main Street. Flavor 91 Bistro is a family-owned restaurant that brings healthy meals to the community. "A woman runs the restaurant along with her daughter and son. They focus on farm-to-food options," says Byron Diaz, a Realtor with Nexthome Experience with sales in the area. "It's one of the more unique restaurants in that area." For example, their 91 Chili is made with grass-fed beef sourced from Ohio farms and cooked with spices from Ethiopian cuisine. For more relaxed fare, Roosters is a highly rated chain serving crispy fried chicken wings and American comfort food. Mark Khatman, a real estate agent at Mainstream Realty Pros who's sold in the area, shares another local favorite about 2 miles away on East Broad Street: "It's called The Mad Greek. It's a local, family-owned business, and I hear a lot from people that they like it there." The restaurant's cool blue exterior and Grecian-style columns transport diners to the Mediterranean, and its lengthy menu covers the whole of Greek cuisine. A Kroger and a Roses Discount Store are 1-1/2 miles southwest of the neighborhood for groceries and retail shopping.
Students are zoned to the Whitehall City School District. Kids can begin their educational journey at Kae Avenue Elementary School, which has a C-plus Niche rating and serves kindergarten through first grade students. The C-rated Etna Road Elementary School teaches students in grades two through five. At Rosemore Middle School, which has a C-minus rating, students can receive individualized coaching, exposure to career opportunities and tuition toward higher education through The Legacy Project. Whitehall-Yearling High School has a score of C and offers College Credit Plus, Ohio's dual enrollment program.
The Fairway neighborhood is slightly south of John Glenn Columbus International Airport, so leaving for vacation is only about a 5-mile drive. Those who work downtown have a 12-mile commute via Interstate 270, which is roughly 3 miles away and connects to I-70. Bus stops are along South Hamilton Road and U.S. State Route 40. For medical services, locals are 1 mile from OhioHealth Eastside Health Center and 3 miles from Mount Carmel East.
