Seven Oaks Ooops... is the name Ozem Gardner Way just a way to say "I'm sorry"? I reposted 'Worthington's  Seven Oaks  this day in history'  to my oldest blog Discover Columbus (a RealTown blog not to be confused with Discover Columbus OH... another blog by a similar name..confused?)  

A resident of Ozem Gardner Way shared this story in a comment:

The street in the Seven Oaks subdivision named Ozem Gardner Way would have been, could have been... named Laurel Oak Drive if the house movers had not dropped the house and broke it?  

Great story. 

Seven Oaks Ooops... or an urban legend?

True?  Not that I doubt Resident... but I have been told some great stories and passed them on... later I found they were not true. 

The story of President Lincoln ... Abe?  I wrote about that story somewhere. It was a classic Abraham Lincoln slept here story. The story was about the north Columbus streets, Chase. Lincoln, Stanton.  An agent in my office told me Lincoln stayed at a farm on Lincoln Rd. when he visited Central Ohio.

Then there was the story I told my whole two or three hour stint on Clintonville Homes Tour one year... when the seller came home I found out the person the shift before me... made it up?  Heard it from someone else?

How many people did I pass that great story about the Clintonville home to in my short shift?  Many...

Seven Oaks Ooops... or a suburban legend? 

I am sure MI Homes developed Seven Oaks, did MI Homes hire house movers that dropped the house?  

Seven Oaks is a city of Columbus neighborhood, in the Worthington City School District with a Westerville mailing address.  It is in a very, very suburban area just south of the Delaware County.  Do you know where the big Chase Bank facility in the Polaris Area is? Seven Oaks is just south of that. 

Seven Oaks is just east of the railroad tracks.  Just south of Seven Oaks is the Flint Carryout. The Flint area has a very interesting history.

Can anyone verify this story?  Did movers drop Ozem Gardner's house?   Worthington's Seven Oak's this day in history was about the history of  Flint's Ozem Gardner.

Worthington Memory identifies the brick house on the west side of Flint Rd with the big front porch as Ozem Gardner's house.  

Or I believe that is the house on the west side of Flint Road with the big ole front porch.  I could not have told you that was Ozem Gardner's house before I looked today.   Isn't there a house with a porch on the east side of Flint road too?  That house sold real loooooow within the last couple of years.  Maybe that's the house that got dropped?

Seven Oaks is a City of Coumbus neighborhood in the Worthington City School District.  Seven Oaks has a Westerville mailing address just to make things more complicated?  No just because that's the way it is.  Flint was a historic Central Ohio Village nearby this subdivision in northern Franklin County.

Olentangy Highlands Worthington Ohio 43085 brought to you by Maureen McCabe Real Living HER

Price range today:  $199,500 to  $312,000 including one short sale. 

Of course that will change search homes for sale in Olentangy Highlands

Olentangy Highlands is west of the Olentangy River and 315.  Olentangy Highlands is in the City of Columbus and the Worthington School District.   Olentangy Highlands is a large neighborhood south of Snouffer Road, running uphill from Olentangy River Road to Linworth Road.   You can get into the neighborhood from Olentangy Road using Troon Trail or there are entrances to Olentany Highlands from  MacGregor, Loch Ness and Woodman from Linworth Road.  

Olentany Highlands was platted in 1977.  It is a leafy green, gorgeous neighborhood.  There are homes in the neighborhood with great ravine lots ... because of the proximity to the Olentangy River.  

An easy way to sort out Olentangy Highlands from Olentangy Hills (City of Worthington) and Olentangy Highbluffs (north of 270, backing up to Highbanks Metro Park) is to think of the Olentangy Highlands street names being said by Sean Connery.  Tweed, MacGregor, Loch Ness, Clan, Kirk, Kilt, Firth, Heathview...related to Scotland! When it comes to streets like Woodman, Werner Way, Ravine Ridge, Rutland Way ... it's more difficult. Highlands, if you enter on Troon Trail you are going straight uphill from Olentangy River Road....

Oh well I still get the three neighborhoods confused.

It is time to take the sweaters off the trees Columbus!   Winter is finally over, the daffodils are blooming, it is time to take tree sweaters off.  Arborists recommend tree sweaters be removed immediately as it is getting warm quickly in Central Ohio.

In an effort to make winter more comfortable some Columbus trees wore sweaters through the winter of  '2009 - 2010.' Pictured wearing a colorful sweater is a tree on Cherryfield Ave., Columbus Ohio 43235 in Worthington Hills. 

Nature Blogger Tom Arbour was instrumental in raising awareness to Columbus residents last fall that we were in for a hard winter and that  a sweater could make a difference for a Central Ohio tree. In a Tree Sweater test program trees in the  Worthington area in northern Franklin County wore sweaters, this past winter.  The trees wearing  sweater were primarily in the Worthington Hills area, west of the Olentangy River.  The wooded ravines in Worthington Hills  posed the largest challenge for tree sweatering. 

The future of tree sweaters in Columbus

Depending on what is in store for us next winter meteorologist Jym Ganahl plans to expand tree sweater awareness in 2010.  Ganahl will use Twitter and Facebook in addition to his televised weather segments  to get the word out to Central Ohioans that sweatering a tree is the responsible thing to do when a cold winter is in the forecast.

For now... Tree Sweaters

Winter is over.  The forsythia is in bloom and while we could have three more snows  Ganahl joins experts in  saying it is time to take those sweaters off Central Ohio trees and store them for later this year. Stay tuned to the Channel 4 website for details on the 2010 Tree Sweater program and it's future.

Olentangy Highbluffs is really Olentangy Highbluffs Village according to the sign out on N. High St... er ...Route 23 or I mean Columbus Sandusky Pike...  I guess the present Google map says Columbus - Sandusky Road.

Olentangy Highbluffs Village - Map

Whatever that big ole road out front of the neighborhoods is called, the full name of the subdivision is Olentangy Highbluffs Village.  I did not find any listings that used the "Village" part of the name, then again Olentangy Highbluffs is already a mouthful.

Olentangy Highbluffs in northern Franklin County is in the City of Columbus and the Worthington City School District. 

Beautiful  Highbanks Metro Park  surrounds the Olentangy Highbluffs neighborhood on two sides.   To live on the outside on Blue Jay or Bridletree... while there is a fence and it is not a pretty fence... the homes do back up to nature.  Unspoiled  nature.

There is nothing on the market right now in Olentangy Highbluffs well that's not really true, there is a townhouse on the market. There is one single family that is listed as "pending" as well.   And of course the new townhouses being built by Village Communities.

The single family homes in the Olentangy Highbluffs neighborhood were primarily built in the 1980s.

Olentangy Highbluffs certainly has good access to 270 to get around Central Ohio. 

Shopping close to Olentangy Highbluffs?  Worthington is right down the road if you are looking for charm or a farmers market. Polaris Fashion Place and all it's surrounding shopping, restaurants, etc.  is minutes away from the neighborhood.  There is a very new strip mall right in front of the Olentangy Highbluffs Village development and there is an older shopping area much deserted right across the road on the corner of Lazelle Road and Route 23.  There is a Tuesday Morning, a Taco Bell,  Dr.  Shoe....  a smattering of other businesses and THE  place you need to go for your drivers license and license plates. 

Schools - Olentangy Highbluffs is in the Worthington City School District, the present attendance areas for the neighborhood: 

Elementary School -  Worthington Hills Elementary School

Middle School -  Worthingway Middle School

High School - Thomas Worthington High School

Middle School - McCord

Corrected by a resident.  Thanks C!

Seven Oaks neighborhood - March 28, 2010 brought to you by Maureen McCabe 

Today Seven Oaks is a City of Columbus neighborhood in the Worthington City School District.   Seven Oaks is south of  Lazelle Road.  One of the streets in Seven Oaks is named Ozem Gardner Way, after a historic area resident.  I wonder if the  Seven Oaks neighborhood  was part of the Reverend Ozem Gardner's farm.   It is likely.   The Flint Cemetery was part of his farm.

The Seven Oaks neighborhood was developed in the 1990s.  Seven Oaks is just a little east of the railroad tracks that go through Worthington and what was the Village of Flint back in the 1800s.  The history of the Seven Oaks neighborhood is the history  of the Flint Ohio area and the anti-slavery movement including the underground railroad, according to a timeline on the  Worthington Historical Society's Worthington Memory site. 

On March 28, 1835  "The Worthington Anti-Slavery Society is organized with 66 subscribers. Ozem Gardner, Flint resident, is president. The Methodist congregations in Worthington and Flint are thought to have assisted fugitive slaves; the deeply wooded ravine that parallels Flint Road provided excellent protective cover for runaways."  according to the Worthington timeline on the Worthington Memory site.

So perhaps nothing important happened in the farm field or bare ground of 1835 that is today the Seven Oaks neighborhood, but the area and the local residents were caught up in the issues of the day.

Map - Ozem Gardner Way and the Seven Oaks neighborhood

Today Seven Oaks is one of those neighborhoods just inside the Franklin County line with a Westerville Ohio 43081 mailing address, although it is in Worthington schools. ZIP codes are just mail routes. There is only one Seven Oaks home for sale presently.

Lone Prairie, Stagecoach, Gallop....  street names in Western Hills a Columbus neighborhood certainly reference the American West....

The City of Columbus neighborhood is in the Worthington School District and has a Powell mailing address.  Homes in the Western Hills subdivision are in the 43065 ZIP code.

Other street names in Western Hills include: Waco, Boulder, Durango, Laredo, Laramie, Eldorado, Yuma.  The main street from the south is Saddlerun and that goes west and just kinda turns into Plains Blvd.  Plains like in level....  the Great Plains in the US?  A flatter area of the country.

I ought to go drive Western Hills... the "Hills" part of Western Hills is perplexing... do you go slightly uphill as you go north? Western Hills is just west of Worthington Hills... well west of the railroad track which is west of Worthington Hills where there are some hills.   Western Hills is east of Smokey Row Road and north of Hard Road.

Worthington homes for sale - the Worthington City School District, would include the Western Hills neighborhood.

Olde Sawmill  Located in northwest Columbus, the neighborhood is in the Columbus city limits.

I believe the Olde Sawmill neighborhood is all in the  43016 ZIP code.  Well if you really want to know the truth I thought the neighborhood was in the 43235 ZIP code...

it's not...

Dublin OH 43016.  

The Olde Sawmill neighborhood is north of Hard Road, South of Summit View Road, East of Sawmill Road and west of Smoky Row Road.

Part of the Olde Sawmill neighborhood is in the Dublin School District and part is in the Worthington School District.  Right now the homes for sale in the Olde Sawmill neighborhood half are Dublin, half are Worthington.  The school district boundaries ín Central Ohio existed before the city of Columbus annexed the area which is Olde Sawmill today. 

Olde Sawmill has a  wide variety of home styles.  The BIA Parade of homes was in Olde Sawmill in the early 1980's, I believe.
