What is your favorite Columbus suburb? (Westerville, Upper Arlington: school, things to do, best)

Although I don't live there, I like the northern part of Westerville. For some reason it reminds me of New England.

Lol, seriously? Westerville and new england? I never thought that I would hear those in the same sentence.

Really Grandview Heights is my favorite suburb of Columbus. It is close to downtown, has a good school system, walkable neighborhoods, solid/growing housing values, and has a great retail strip. ALso, Grandview is close to all of the sought after neighborhoods (near downtown) in columbus. Like the Short North, Victorian Village, and Italian Village.

i like Bexley alot. I don't understand the big woop about Dublin and i think im going to start visiting a good friend of mine who lives out that way to understand the hype. There has to be a reason why people like that area!

UpperArlington is nice along with grandview. Westerville is nice too though! It's like the stereotypical suburb. It should be the prototype honestly.

Reynoldsburg is nice too for the most part. Typicaly if your not into anything close to normal middle/upper class you might not like it. There isn't alot of posing for one to get into.

Fairfield County's Liberty Township (includes Baltimore and a bit of Millersport and Pickertington) is still quite rural and a wonderful place to live!

I am originally from Hilliard and I think it is a great Columbus suburb. It has grown since I was transplanted there from eastern Ohio. I graduated from Hilliard High school and consider my education to be a great one. I am currently living out of state and am seriously thinking about moving back to Hilliard since being out of Hilliard proper since 1995. I think it would be great place to raise a family. Lots of activities.

Dublin.

Upper Arlington would be second.

Westerville, third.

Those are mine as well. I like the Polaris area as well.

I vote for Westerville. Easy access to Polaris and Easton with none of the traffic. Easy access to downtown but not too close. Nice community feel with uptown and with schools and kids stuff. Easy to drive from one side to the other in 15 minutes or less. More affordable than nearly any other suburb (other than Gahanna). I'm from Gahanna originally but don't like that it has one Gigantic High school. The 3 smaller high schools in Westerville make it possible for the kids to be a part of sports without necessarily being the best athlete. Also, Gahanna has that whole good side bad side thing going that I never liked.

Westerville is adorable, too. I do hate the traffic through town sometimes.

Uptown Westerville is a terrific place to be.
