Relocating to Central Ohio: What Newcomers Need to Know

June 16, 20252 min read

Whether you're relocating for work, family, or lifestyle, moving to a new area can feel overwhelming. But if you're headed to Central Ohio—welcome! You're moving to one of the fastest-growing and most opportunity-rich regions in the Midwest.

As a local real estate expert deeply rooted in the Silicon Heartland communities, here's what you need to know to make a smooth and informed transition.


1. Understand the Region's Growth

Central Ohio has seen a boom thanks to projects like the Intel expansion - yes, it is behind schedule, but there is so many more businesses moving into the area. This growth brings new jobs, increased home values, and exciting developments—but also competition for housing. That’s why having a local advocate matters.


2. Explore the Best Neighborhoods

From well developed suburbs to charming rural towns, there's something for everyone. Some top picks:

·         New Albany – Upscale and master-planned, with strong schools and close to Intel.

·         Granville – Picturesque and historic with a collegiate vibe.

·         Westerville – Balanced lifestyle with great dining, parks, and shopping.

·         Pataskala & Johnstown – Ideal for more space, affordability, and quiet comfort.

I’ll help match your lifestyle with the right community.


3. Plan Ahead for Timing and Inventory

Because of high demand, homes here sell quickly. Being pre-approved and clear about your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves will give you a competitive edge.


4. Know Your Commute

Whether you're commuting to Intel, Nationwide, or working remotely, understanding drive times and traffic patterns can help narrow down location choices.


5. Partner With a Local Expert

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer relocation buyers:

✔️ Virtual tours
✔️ Personalized neighborhood insights
✔️ Trusted referrals for movers, lenders, and inspectors
✔️ Step-by-step guidance, from search to closing


Relocating Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful

I specialize in helping newcomers feel at home—quickly, comfortably, and confidently.
