Why Columbus?
Rush Creek in Worthington
October 26th, 2007 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers
I have some buyers moving to town from Cincinnati. The husband will be working at OSU. The Ohio State University, inadvertently, has been good to me this year. I enjoy helping people relocate to Columbus, especially if they’ll be working inside the outer-belt. (No, that’s not a Led Zepplin album.)
These buyers want a particular style of house that isn’t easily available. I love a challenge and I aim to please when it comes to finding the right aesthetic for my buyers. They want something relatively open and contemporary. Certainly unique, though not historic per se. When you really start to dig, you’ll see that Columbus and our suburbs have lots and lots of very typical, 2 stories, cape cods and split levels all more or less a similar floor plan and all more or less built between the mid 60s and mid 80s and all more or less boxy feeling.
Then, there’s Rush Creek in Worthington. A fuzzily known but still somewhat secret neighborhood full of Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes tucked around Rte 161 and those rail road tracks. You can walk to historic Olde Worthington on High Street and your kids can walk to Colonial Hills elementary school. They almost fit the bill for these buyers but some of these homes are beginning to show their age and they may not be able to afford the home and to update it to their liking.
It’s really a very peaceful, idyllic, wooded and warm neighborhood full of like minded people of all ages. If it’s different you want, you enjoy built ins, angles, wood, Prairie Style design built with TLC, check it out. And Yes, there is a Rush Creek that runs through that little section of Worthington.
