Delaware County made #2 on Forbes list for suburban areas with the best opportunity for job and income growth. For the past number of years, southern Delaware County has topped the State list for fastest growth. This growth … and no doubt the high income referenced by Forbes … is likely in the Olentangy school district area in the southern half of the county.
Here’s what Forbes had to say …
Professional success often requires some degree of sacrifice. Surprisingly, one of those sacrifices might include moving to the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio. Living in Delaware County is, in some ways, a smarter career move than packing up and heading for Wall Street or Silicon Valley.
With three-year income growth of 11 percent between 2007 and 2009, Delaware County is one of 10 places Forbes found best for professionals to get ahead. The fastest-growing county in the state, it has benefited from both a diverse mix of jobs that has kept the economy strong, and family-friendly neighborhoods that expanded out from the city center.
I have a small table box in the right side bar of this blog that will show you the demographics of local suburbs. Check out the data for Powell, Lewis Center and Delaware.
You can also view the average price of homes in the “SUBDIVISION” tab above this blog’s header. On that page, I show the various subdivisions of the key suburbs around the Columbus metro area. Homes in the Powell area tend to be higher priced as a collective group. There are several golf course communities in the Powell area such as Wedgewood, Golf Village Kinsale and Scioto Reserve.
I recently switched from the Worthington office to the Powell Real Living office for better convenience to my clients. If you need help buying or selling a home in the southern Delaware County area, give me a call at 614-825-8860.
