The REAL 5 best suburbs to live in Columbus when moving to Ohio 

1. Powell 2. Non-Sawmill Dublin 3. Upper Arlington 4. New Albany 5. West. Central Westerville The problem with New Albany is that is is out east and surrounded by all the other east areas.

One thing to note is that if you work in downtown Columbus, OSU, Battelle, etc. on snow days those 20-25 minute commutes on 315 or 71 from Dublin, Powell, New Albany, and Westerville often become more like 1 hour commutes, with Galena being even longer. It’s a much easier commute to Upper Arlington or Clintonville on a snow day if you work close to downtown. Obviously, if you work in the suburb near where you live then snow day commutes aren’t an issue.

I love Dublin💕 beautiful homes, quiet at night, friendly people

New Albany is really expensive right now due to the data centers and chip manufacturing coming into that area

Gahanna should be on the list, as a resident for over 25 years the proximity to all points of interest in central ohio are witin 20-25 minutes.

I'm from Ohio but I've moved to Texas I've made more money in Ohio than I've ever made in texas. Then I don't have to worry about companies not paying me or missing hours or waiting a month to a year to be reimbursed for those hours.. Moving back home.

If you don't consider Upper Arlington (and others), then this list makes sense. The list should be titled "The 5 best places to live if you can't get a home in Upper Arlington, Grandview, Worthington or Bexley"- sorry, it's just a fact. Soon it will be "The 5 best places to live between Cleveland and Columbus".

Man...I knew what you were gonna pick before I even watched the video. And, viewers...he's right: Bring your checkbook. A really BIG checkbook. May as well get a AAA membership because none of these are actual suburbs. They're satellite towns. Most are north and west of the outerbelt. If you're watching this and you make less than six figures, you're gonna have one heck of a time even finding housing in these school districts. Regrettably, "best" often means "richest"...and I don't see that changing anywhere anytime soon.

The neighborhoods all look nice. I've lived in So. Calif my whole life, and never been in a home without a backyard fence. Every house has one here. Would be my only concern as we have dogs.

Columbus has the most impatient drivers. They have been voted third most impatient drivers in America. And an impatient driver is a dangerous driver. “Tail Gate city”. Everywhere you drive you will be tail gated. Get ready to disregard the speed limit or you will be passed in the most dangerous situations. Generally, speed over curtsy. At red light, everyone packs the cars tightly together. When the light turns green, no one gives a two second pause before acceleration and the line of cars stays as close as possible. Everyone is pushing or being pushed. In an accident, you cant tell the Judge - “Everybody else does it.”

I’ve lived in Galena, Westerville and New Albany. I agree 💯 with your picks. Currently living in Sunbury which shares a school district with Galena. My daughters went to Big Walnut School District when we still had drive your tractor to school day. That’s now a thing of the past, sadly. This area is growing like crazy, probably due to Intel coming in. Johnstown as well, a notable mention, beautiful community, growing like crazy.

I'm thinking about moving next year. Living in Memphis and I want to get way from the heat and crime. I'm thinking about Columbus, looking for a hockey city that's reasonably priced. I also like the OSU marching band

New Albany and Westerville are both very overrated. If you want the virtue signaling of black lives matter yard signs but dont want black people ANYWHERE near you then New Albany is definitely your place. And if you like white horse fences everywhere you'll love it. No horse required (or allowed even) Westerville downtown has some charm and Otterbein is there but the people are terribly snobbish and its awful to drove through as all the roads are 25 mph. And it was a national leader in the prohibition movement back in the day and there's still some of that puritanical sensibility there but oddly there's lots of trashy people there now as well. Galena is a bedroom community. It's decent if you're a boring person and don't like non-whites but there's nothing there really except sprawl developments. Yawn. Dublin is fine and so is Powell. Worthington, Gahanna and Upper Arlington are the other top 5 for different reasons and Grandview is the honorable mention. If you're into, uhhh, diversity, Bexley is very cool but definitely more urban than the others as it's ghetto adjacent. Cheers!

I think worthington is worthy of an honorable mention

You have to be able to afford Les Wexner's New Albany.

Westerville 💖, the HOMES are fantastic, old and new homes, the library "awesome"😁, plenty of places to eat😋, ranch style homes, parks, huge rec center, walking and bike paths, neighborhood businesses.💖

That’s awesome myself am looking how to move in Columbus Ohio. I live in Boston right now

Nice list but very expensive. I understand your a realtor and sell big, but for average Joes like myself, look at 1.) Hilliard, 2.) Grove City, 3.)Gahanna, 4.) Dublin, 5.) Worthington

I love Dublin💕 beautiful homes, quiet at night, friendly people , great companies to work for, 👍

Galena is very spacious. Perfect area to buy land, build a home or start a small homestead 👍

Only people familiar with the metropolitan Columbus can follow your video. Complete outsiders will be lost from you're trying to convey, except jotting down those suburb names😂😅

Here's my top 5... #5, West Jefferson, #2, Grove City, #3, Galloway, #2, Groveport and #1, Obetz.

Westerville schools are not that good and Dublin is a lot of McMansions but good schools.

What is the population and the median age?

Glad to see sidewalks in New Albany 😃

Great job, thank you!

Grove city is clean love it

I hope to be able to live in new Albany or Westerville someday.
