Worthington Reviews

Worthington has the best of both worlds: there is the community spirit and friendliness of a small town, while being close enough to Columbus to have all the benefits of a much bigger city. The walkable downtown hosts many events and activities that draw the community together like the weekly farmer's market, a Christmas tree lighting, free concerts on the town green on Sunday nights in the summer, etc. When you walk down the street, neighbors are talking to each other and it is easy to run into someone you know. It is a very Normal Rockwell/Mayberry feel.
Contrary to the Niche information, Worthington is one of the more liberal suburbs of Columbus (along with Grandview and Bexley). The schools offer many wonderful academic programs and have a very diverse student body. Because it is such a safe neighborhood, kids ride their bikes and play in the community parks like it is the 1950s. Easy access to the Olentangy Trail means that walking and biking are very popular.

I recently moved to Worthington from the New Albany area and I feel right at home! I live in an apartment complex and have easy access to all major road and highways. Even with the freeway so close, the neighborhood is nestled back in a way that there is almost no noise! Close by there is downtown Worthington, a quaint area with antique shops, small cafes, and even a historic looking Dairy Queen. On Saturdays, the community hosts a farmers market to support local businesses and farmers sell their stock. One of my favorite parts about Worthington is the access to a wide variety of activities. Spend your day strolling through the park, or catch a movie at Crosswoods! The overall small community holds new opportunities around every corner. Stop off at at a pub for a drink and some evening entertainment, or head to the mall and shop until you drop! Worthington is a great place for anyone to live for individuals and families. It's my recommendation to consider Worthington as your next move
We love living in Worthington. It is close by anything that you would need or want. Big stores, small businesses, restaurants, and gas stations. There are also bus lines near by as well. Worthington also has some of the best schools. As a future teacher, I can honestly say that I would be honored to teach at a Worthington School! Everyone I have met is friendly and multiple neighbors helped us look for our dog when she ran away. There are also apps/websites that allow you to connect with your neighbors, which is really nice. It is generally clean and well-kept. There is a lot of construction, but as frustrating as it may be right now, it will hopefully make the city that much better!
