Trulia likes lists. Recently a list on Trulia on Lorie Woodruff's Washington state blog about home buying was about "5 Things You Didn’t Know Could Get Your Home Sold"
The Worthingview neighborhood and Trader Joe's
Woodruff wrote "1. Your Neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Or Costco, or other outpost for daily living supplies that tends to have a rabid following. On a recent HuffingtonPost article about the Trader Joe’s grocery chain, one visitor left a comment to the effect that they selected their home largely based on its proximity to a Trader Joe’s! And buyer’s brokers will tell you - homebuyers’ eyes light up and they pay a much closer look to homes near Whole Foods, a local favorite coffeehouse or farmer’s market."
So does that mean a seller ought to move their house closer to Trader Joes' to sell?
Using a listing in Worthingview neighborhood - 1344 Snowmass Road, Columbus, Ohio 43235 to Trader Joe's. All directions are via car, the Worthingview neighborhood and much of the West Worthington area is considered "car dependent" according to Walk Score.
8 Minutes to Trader Joe's at Sawmill

Costco... over near Polaris, in the Lewis Center area. I'll let you map it if you love Costco and want to venture there from the West Worthington area. Only 15 minutes? Surprising to me and so is the fastest route.
The latest Central Ohio foodie "you gotta visit location", The Market District at Kingsdale in Upper Arlington... is 19 minutes by way of Linworth Road, cut that to 16 minutes if you hop on 315.

Woodruff's list on Trulia mentioned farmers markets along with grocery stores. It's only 8 minutes by car going the W. Wilson Bridge to High Street route to the Worthington Farmers Market. It is 9 minutes via the Linworth Road route or the Olentangy River Road route... to the Worthington Farmer's Market.
Bike? Bike to the Worthington Farmers Market from the Worthingview neighborhood only 23 minutes with the Linworth Road route, Google's bicycling directions are still in beta.
Listing sold and closed. The link to the listing removed since it was going to Real Living not my site.
