Your Guide to Columbus’s North Side Suburbs

If you’re thinking about the north side of Columbus and have no idea where to start, start here.

Thirteen pages covering Powell, Delaware, Lewis Center, Galena, Westerville, Worthington, Dublin, and Sunbury. Every suburb gets the same treatment: what actually sold last month and what homes are worth, how fast they move, which school districts the ZIP touches (usually more than one, which surprises people), how many minutes to the Short North, Ohio State, Dublin, Easton, and the airport, and the one thing people don’t expect about living there.

Plus a page on how school districts really work here, since they don’t follow city lines, and a page on every builder putting up new homes on the north side.

Numbers are September 2026 from the Columbus MLS, single family homes, with sources on the last page.

I’m Kelsie Stites, a Realtor with Engel & Völkers Real Estate Advisors. I live in Powell and work all of Central Ohio. The guide is free. When you’re ready to talk through it, that’s the first step on page 13.
