Neighborly atmosphere in Whitehall
Just south of the John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Whitehall is a suburban city within the inner ring of Interstate 270. What began as farmland in the early 20th century expanded after the construction of the first regional shopping center in the country, according to the city. Today, the community holds onto a sense of neighborliness. "A lot of places you go, you get swallowed up in the city," says Whitehall 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." This solidarity combines with a convenient location and lower-than-average housing prices to attract Columbus-based professionals.
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.

Careers with the Department of Defense
Whitehall is the headquarters of several companies, including DSW, the Wasserstrom Company and Heartland Bank. The Defense Supply Center Columbus and Defense Logistics Agency are located in the city, lending a significant military presence to the area. "Whitehall is a place where people can live and work and raise their family," Bivens says. "We have a tagline that we live by: 'Opportunity is here.'"
Whitehall's median single-family home price is around $200,000, lower than the national median price. Large, contemporary homes follow the golf course in The Fairway neighborhood, while split-levels and ranch-style houses are typical of Lowrie Brothers. Condos are Foxfire Village's specialty, and midcentury Cape Cods surround Norton Field.
Whitehall is proud to host the DSW Headquarters, where innovative career opportunities and steady job growth contribute to a thriving business community.

Acres of flowers at Whitehall Community Park
The recently renovated Whitehall Community Park is one of the city's central communal spaces, featuring a disc golf course, multi-use trails and six acres of flowers.

Other public facilities include Lamby Lane Park's workout stations and Central Bark's dog areas.
Equipped with ample seating, the amphitheater at John Bishop Memorial Park is ideal for Whitehall community gatherings and outdoor events.

Easy access to downtown Columbus
Buses through the Central Ohio Transit Authority stop along Main Street, Broad Street and Hamilton Road.

Important to know
According to the FBI, Whitehall saw an increase in violent crime from 2022 to 2023. Property-related crime has been on the rise since 2020. From 2021 to 2024, the Whitehall Police Department implemented the Safer Whitehall Strategic Plan, an initiative to decrease crime in the community.
Whitehall has warm, humid summers and windy, snowy winters. The average annual snowfall is lower than the Ohio average.
Parts of Whitehall are located in a 100-year floodplain — areas that have a 1% chance of seeing floods every year. Homes in these areas require permits from the city before being built, and their owners are required to maintain flood insurance.
In 2020, the city announced plans to redevelop the intersection of Hamilton Road and Broad Street into a 50-acre multi-use area that will include green space surrounding new residential and commercial zones. The first phase of development is anticipated for 2025.
