In Columbus, finding a home for sale where you can’t hear a train whistle is pretty difficult. A few key lines intersect our city and if you want to live inside I-270, then you’ll probably hear a train from time to time.
I live close to Broad and I-71 and while I don’t hear whistles, I do hear trains should I happen to awake in the 2:00 to 5:00 AM hours. I’m not that close to a track but at night it sounds like I am. Many of my buyer clients tend to begin their search for home by saying that they definitely don’t want to be near any tracks and find out during the course of the search that it’s difficult to avoid when looking for a home for sale in Clintonville, Worthington, North Bexley, Grandview, Olde Towne East and certainly downtown Columbus condos.
Interestingly enough, in Downtown Columbus, trains are everywhere and great people are paying great prices to live there. It seems trains are actually very metro Columbus, just not trains that carry people to and fro apparently. Running around town for showings, going to and from the office or on the way to listing appointments I see a train riding on a track somewhere in the city almost every day.
