Worthington Real Estate,
Glasshouse Realty
New England Charm in Central Ohio
Worthington is one of Ohio's oldest planned communities, founded in 1803 by settlers from New England, and it still feels like it. The historic Village Green, brick sidewalks on High Street, and a walkable Old Worthington center sit about 20 to 25 minutes north of downtown Columbus, wrapped around one of the state's top school districts.
The Village Green has anchored Worthington for more than two centuries, hosting the farmers market, summer concerts, and the traditions that give the town its rhythm. Old Worthington High Street is lined with locally owned shops and restaurants in preserved Federal, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne buildings, and the Worthington Farmers Market on Saturdays is one of the region's best. With the Olentangy River corridor and Slate Run Metro Park nearby, and Worthington City Schools feeding nationally ranked high schools, this is the suburb people mean when they say they want character.
