holiday parades create a rhythm of connection and belonging. • Proximity to downtown. With Columbus just minutes away, it’s easy to enjoy the best of both city life and suburban calm. • Generational appeal. Families often stay for decades, with children returning to raise families of their own. • Character and charm. From Bexley’s historic homes to Berwick’s mid-century ranches and Eastmoor’s classic brick houses, the architectural variety adds to the sense of place. For Jeff, who has lived in Bexley for more than 30 years, the appeal is simple. “It’s home,” he says. “It’s where we raised our family, where neighbors look out for each other, and where there’s always something happening. You can’t beat that combination of small-town charm and big-city convenience.”
Far East Side (Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Blacklick)
Just a short drive east of downtown Columbus, the communities of Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, and Blacklick offer a distinctly suburban lifestyle with newer homes, strong schools, and family-friendly neighborhoods. Each has its own character, yet together they form a connected region known for its growth, convenience, and appeal to modern families. For Jeff, the Far East Side represents the classic suburban experience. “It’s all about space, newer homes, and a sense of community,” he explains. “You have everything you need nearby — schools, parks, shopping — but you’re not right in the middle of the city hustle.”
