Moving to Lancaster or Central Ohio? I'm a Lancaster native, and I help you find a place you'll be proud to call home.
What moving to Canal Winchester looks like
Canal Winchester is a growing town about 15 minutes from Columbus, and the short commute is a big reason people move here. My office is in town at 11 S High Street, so I can meet you when you arrive.
Spots to know include Shade, Homestead Taproom and Kitchen, Coffee on High, Harvest Moon Craft Kitchen, Corner Smiths, Harris Lane and Co, Winchester Farm Exchange, The Interurban Depot and Gilbert Guiler Park.
Homes and schools
Expect a mix of new subdivisions with HOA fees and some older areas without an HOA, and plenty of new construction. The town has one school district, the Canal Winchester Local School District. I can tell you which schools serve a home, and the decision is yours.
If you cannot visit often
I coordinate virtual tours, video walkthroughs and regular communication, and I help you think through your commute. If you compare towns, Pickerington is similar, and Lancaster is a little further out and less congested. See my relocation page.
