Bexley is a welcoming, inclusive, progressive, and gradually diversifying city. Residents span the socio-economic spectrum, although it leans upper middle class. While about 80% white, it is diversifying ethnically. Bexley is a safe haven for multi-cultural and LGBTQ families, of which there are many. One-third of the population is Jewish. Bexley is heavily democratic - about 80% of the yard signs for the 2020 Presidential election were for Biden. The public schools are extremely well funded and very highly ranked. During the pandemic, all students with unreliable home wifi were given free wifi mobile hotspots; and free ipads are offered to students in need. The location is very convenient to downtown and the airport (10 minutes), adjacent to I-70, and close to Easton (under 15 minutes). Downtown (Main St) businesses are easily accessible by walking for more than half the residents. Most residents take good care of their properties - many of which are historic homes.
I love going to school in Bexley, it's a great community. We may be a small school/suburb area but I think that's a big factor in what makes this community so unique. Class sizes are smaller; which allows everyone to get to know each other, between students or teachers or even the interactions between students and teachers. This allows great relationships to be built between students of different ages and provides students with lots of helping resources because the teachers want to see the students succeed. We all also live relatively close to each other; our town is about a 2 by 3 mile community, making anything from hangouts to community events easily accessible and fun. Since Bexley is small, we can have more educational funding. Allowing there to be a wider choice of classes, new technology, and more staff to further our education. Bexley is a great community that is very supportive and wants you to grow.
Bexley's fine, but it's not everything it's cracked up to be. It really doesn't have that "small-town feeling" many other residents attribute it to. Don't get me wrong, the schools are great, but it feels cold and unwelcoming.
