He recently just sold this Wedgewood home in Powell at 5166 Canterbury for $1,075,000 where he lived while his house was being built. Not a bad selling price considering he bought in 04' for $975,000 at the peak of the luxury market when other homes in this price range didn't appreciate much.(below)

OSU Football Coach Jim Tressel sold his old home on Arlington Ave in Upper Arlington due to it's lack of privacy.

Here are some homes of Columbus Blue Jackets.

Not many Blue Jackets seem to own homes. Probably due to the young age of some of the big money makers. If anyone knows Rick Nash, please let him know I can hook him up with a phat crib!
