Bexley

With its tree-lined streets and rows of unique, historical homes, the arboretum of Bexley is equally enchanting as it is familiar. Living in this highly walkable suburb of 2.44 square miles makes it convenient to explore without the need for a car. In fact, there aren’t even school buses; most students walk to the 3 elementary schools or the middle and high school every day. The community is close-knit and active, and, being just 10 minutes east of downtown, Bexley blends small town feel and city life. It’s tucked away from urban noise and traffic while still offering plenty of excitement of its own, including the Main Street corridor with destination dining, restaurants, ice cream parlors, shops and a grocery market. It’s no wonder this community is home to 14,000 people and counting.
