This neighborhood is a hidden gem in Central Ohio. It was developed by the New Albany company,
a parade of home was held there in the 90's. Gorgeous walking trails, landscaped ponds and green spaces, mostly two story homes. Landscaping is mature and many streets are wooded. 350 to 450 price range. The houses are not cookie cutter as there were numerous builders in there, interiors will be the standard two story layouts but exteriors are well done with natural finishes. Large lots. Lovely rustic feel.
This area is south of Morse Road, east of the Johnstown road roundabout.
The area is within Gahanna municipal boundaries with Gahanna schools. We owned a home in there and never understood why the mailing address is New Albany.
Check it out, you will be impressed.

Good suggestion on Harrison Pond. Very nice community and I like that the homes all look different. Great location too, not far from Easton, and swanky New Albany just to the north. Gahanna schools are not small, but if you're looking for a smaller parochial, St. Matthew is located in Gahanna and a fair number of Harrison Pond kids go there.

My suggestions are Worthington and Bexley.

Harrison Pond is nice but doesn't match the criteria that the OP said that they were looking for in a home.

How about Dublin? There are 2 community pools and Dublin Recreation Center has indoor pools. Also, there are lots of golf course communities with pools, like Muirfield Village has 2 good size outdoor pools. You can use them just with HOA fee, don't have to become a member of the golf course. In addition, Sidewalk/bike path is everywhere, lots of trees, good schools etc. Zoombezi Bay, a big water park adjoined to Columbus Zoo is close and seasonal pass is not that expensive.
