You can live a carefree lifestyle for very reasonable cost in the north/northwest communities around Columbus. Or if you want total luxury, there are many options for you as well.
Condos such as the one to the left, generally cost below $160K depending on the number of bedrooms and the location of the complex. Some of these complexes offer garages, while some only have carports or street parking. 
The Epcon Group offers many condo complexes all around the Columbus area. This particular one is one of four such complexes in the Powell area. Depending on the location and number of bedrooms, they generally are priced in the $200K-260K price range. A pool and a party house are included.
These two luxury complexes (below) are located in the Powell area with prices ranging from the high $300K’s to mid $400’s depending on the options and the view.The first complex is Village at Kinsale with many units having a view of the golf course.
The complex on the right is the Lakes at Golf Village. Both these luxury complexes are located at the intersection of Sawmill Parkway and Rutherford Rd.
Just as I did for single-family homes, I compiled the 2nd quarter sales results (Jan-Jun) for condos in six suburbs north and northwest of Columbus. One caveat to the data below regarding the higher priced units, is that the data does not include sales direct with the builder. It only includes sales recorded in the MLS system which is mostly resale homes. Since most of the upscale units are brand new, or too new to be on the resale market, they aren’t reflected truly in the data below.
Powell area:
· Below $200K: 29 units were sold averaging $163K with 1457 sq ft.

Here’s a great little Italian restaurant in Columbus
October 4, 2007 · 2 Comments
In another post I noted that my usual dining experience is take-out or fast food. While I certainly don’t intend to turn this blog into a “restaurant review”, I may occasionally mention places I like. Keep in mind that I am certainly not a connoisseur… I generally like ALL food which is another problem I have.
Yesterday some clients took me to a great Italian restaurant after signing closing papers. I don’t especially care for the thick, tomato pasty type of sauce, preferring instead a “lighter” sauce. This restaurant uses the type of sauce that I like - tasty but not overpowering.
The restaurant is Moretti’s on Sawmill Rd, opposite the Home Depot, just north of Don Scott airport. It’s in a small strip center that is easy to drive by but never really see.
I loved the salad and the dressing. We decided it must be a form of balsamic vinegar - really good! All the pasta is homemade. The entree prices range from $15-24. However, consider asking to split an entree since the portions are HUGE! My clients split a veal Parmesan and even when split, their portions were quite large. The veal was “real meat” not a processed patty, and it looked to be crispy on the outside. I ordered the ravioli appetizer and had to ask for a doggy bag to bring half of it home. I’ll bet their lasagne is great.
They do offer take-out so this place will definitely be on my list when I’m in the mood for a really good salad with a little loaf of bread. Yum-m-m. Copyright © 2007.
