Pickerington Home Types: Newer Construction and Subdivisions
Pickerington has many more newer homes than Lancaster, in lots of subdivisions. That is the biggest difference you will notice when you start touring.
Homes here are generally higher priced than in Lancaster, so it helps to look at the whole monthly cost and not only the price. Many subdivisions have an HOA, which is a homeowners association. It charges a fee and sets rules for things like fences and exterior paint. Ask for the fee and the rules before you fall in love with a house, because the fee adds to your monthly payment.
Two of the neighborhoods I know best here are Village at Sycamore Creek and Fox Glen. If you are not sure which subdivision fits you, tell me what you want your next home to have, and I will show you where to look.
Pickerington Local School District
Pickerington Local School District has two high schools, Pickerington Central and Pickerington North. Because there are two, I check which one serves a home before you get attached to it.
I will not rank the schools for you. That is your call. I will show you which schools serve each home you are considering, and point you to the district so you can ask questions and visit in person.
Where to Eat, Shop and Spend a Saturday
Pickerington has many restaurants and shopping options to choose from. A few I would point you to are Roosters, The Old Bag of Nails Pub, Grapevine Pizza, Kingy's Pizza, and Porters Coffee House and Bakery. For something different, Rule 3 is a bowling alley.
Olde Pickerington Village is the downtown, and the main shopping strip runs along State Route 256. There are also several parks, including Sycamore Creek Park. When we tour, I will show you the streets around the house too, because where you grab coffee on a Saturday is part of what you are buying.
How I Help You Buy or Sell in Pickerington
With a newer home in a subdivision, there is more to learn before you decide. I explain each step, why it exists and when it happens, and I ask what you need before I recommend anything.
If this is your first home, I will walk you through each piece, from pre-approval to the day you get the keys. If you are moving up from a smaller house, I will help you plan the sale and the purchase together. If you are selling, every home I list gets paid Facebook and Instagram ads, so buyers see it where they already scroll. My process page shows how it all fits together.
I am with Jill Howell at Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, and I keep everyone talking so your deal keeps moving.
Pickerington, Lancaster or Canal Winchester?
Here is how I describe the three towns to buyers who are choosing between them.
- Pickerington: suburban, Columbus oriented, with newer construction in subdivisions and homes that are generally higher priced.
- Lancaster: a historic small city feel, homes that are generally more affordable, and more opportunity for acreage nearby. It is a little further from Columbus.
- Canal Winchester: also a growing town about 15 minutes from Columbus, with many new subdivisions. Canal Winchester and Pickerington are similar.
Tell me your budget and your commute, and I will tell you which one I would look at first.
