I have lived in Bexley for 4 years now and love everything about this suburb. The community is very welcoming and comfortable. There is always a new place to eat whether you are looking for something casual like pizza or even a fancier night out at the local steakhouse. The grocery shopping is convenient with a new Giant Eagle as well as a Kroger, CVS, and more just down the road. There are always new places coming about aiding in the prominent college crowd of the private institution, Capital University. Housing includes anything from apartments to beautiful old mansions. This environment is somewhere I would recommend to anyone.

My experience living in Bexley Ohio is a delightful one because of the connection with my neighbors is a trustworthy one. And, the communication with my child's teachers and school officials is spectacular. I like the small town feel, yet, the closeness to the big city. The Bexley community exhibits a great deal of family friendly events and has the best Fourth of July celebration I have ever experienced.
Becket is a wonderful place to live. Is the perfect place to raise a growing family. Everything is within a walking distance. Including restaurants, grocery store, libraries, gym, schools, ice cream shops, local movie theater,, coffee shops, and so much more.
