Columbus has more than a dozen distinct suburbs, each with a different tradeoff between commute time, walkability, and amenities. Median sale prices across the region range from the high $200s to $400,000-plus, and how long you'll spend in the car every day varies just as much as the price tag.
Central Ohio's regional median sale price sits roughly 31% below the national median in 2026, and July inventory is at its highest level in over a decade. For investors who know where to look, neighborhoods like Franklinton, Groveport, Pataskala, and Union County still offer below-median entry points in a market that continues to appreciate. Here's how to spot the real opportunities.
