The Worthington neighborhood traditionally known as Worthington Estates has appreciated very well compared to other areas in Columbus, as well as other areas of Worthington. This is not due its breathtaking architecture or new inviting floorplans. This neighborhoods location is what continues to carry it past its competitors.

The Worthington Estates/Worthingway/Olentangy Hills area is bordered by WIlson Bridge Rd. on the North, High St. on the East, the Olentangy River on the West, and Highgate on the South. This neighborhood is one of the few around where children can walk to elementary school, middle school, and high school. This benefit alone is the significant demand driver. Worthington schools hold top state rankings. The neighborhood also borders the Olentangy River bike trails which offer neighborhood access to scenic walks along the river through the parks. The parks are extremely safe, large, and well maintained by the city. Most locations in the neighborhood are a bike ride to Old Worthington shops and restaurants, the Worthington Pool, and the Worthington Community Center. Worthington Estates tends to attract well to do families that could many times afford a more expensive home, but enjoy the humble atmosphere and unmatched amenities.

The area is currently undergoing a turnover from it's original 1960's owners to a younger family oriented neighborhood. We are seeing a premium put on homes that have been cosmetically updated and expect to see many new renovations and additions in the coming years. You can't find Location like this in a newly built neighborhood in Southern Delaware County! Developers today could never match the neighborhood amenities this close to Central Columbus.
