Worthington Heights

 

Worthington Heights free standing condosWorthington Heights is a community of free standing condominiums in the Far North area of the City of Columbus and the Worthington City School District.  Worthington Heights was built by Qualstan,  a company that no longer builds in Columbus.  I still see a listing in Google... someone else using the Qualstan name?  Or just a Google ghost?

Worthington Heights (map) is at Sancus Blvd and Modoc Rd  north of 270 and just south of the Polaris area.

Qualstan closed shortly after the owner, Don Ettore passed away quite a few years ago now.  Qualstan built affordable single family homes and condos in many Central Ohio communities for a number of years.... 40 years according to a 2002 Business First Columbus article.

I believe Worthington Heights is the only free standing condo community that Qualstan built.  Are you aware of other free standing condos built by Qualstan?  Village Homes, Dominion Homes and others got into to the free standing condo business much later.

The floor plans in Worthington Heights are the same or very similar to floor plans in two single family Qualstan neighborhoods in Hilliard.   The floor plans in Worthington Heights are the same as a couple in Crosscreek and Sweetwater Estates.  Most of the condominum homes in Worthington Heights are two story but there are some bilevels and one story floor plans as well.

There are some differences in owning a free standing condo than in a typical attached condominium.

Worthington Schoolside Village

Schoolside Village neighborhood signWorthington Schoolside Village is a City of Columbus neighborhood with a Westerville mailing address. Schoolside Village is in the Worthington City School District. School districts were in place before much of northern Franklin County was developed.

Search - homes for sale in Schoolside Village and other Worthington area neighborhoods.

Worthington Schoolside Village is what the sign at the entrance off Worthington Galena Road says... but the Schoolside Village neighborhood has a Westerville mailing address. The addresses of the homes in Schoolside Village are Westerville OH 43081.

Schoolside Village homes were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Homewood. Or the majority of homes were built by the Homewood Corporation.

The school that Worthington Schoolside Village is beside?  From what Google is showing now you might wonder if  "Schoolside" in Worthington Schoolside Village is the Worthington Middle School north of the development or the elementary school on Park Road, Park Road Elementary school , a Worthington school. 

Which is it? 

Although today (it could be corrected) Google shows Grace Bretheren Church as "Worthington Middle School", on Grace Bretheren ID as Worthington Middle Schoolthe map if you visit the larger version of the map.   I always thought the Schoolside Village neighborhood was named for Park Road Elementary School.  The Schoolside Village neighborhood is not as "schoolside" as it once was since another neighborhood was built in between the elementary school and most of Schoolside Village. Or does Grace Bretheren Church have a middle school at the intersection of Lazelle Rd. and Worthington Galena Rd.?

The Worthington City School District Middle Schools are all south of 270. 

Current schools for Worthington Schoolside Village according to the school district website are:

Elementary - Park Road Elementary

Middle - Kilbourne

High School -Thomas Worthington

Worthington Attendance Maps                                          Grace Bretheren ID Grace Polaris as Worship Center

On their site Grace Bretheren churches identify the building on Worthington Galena Road as a Worship Center, not a school.

Brookside Estates

Brookside Estates Columbus Ohio 43235

I was surprised that the book 'Worthington Neighborhoods' by Jennie McCormick does not have a chapter on Brookside Estates. Brookside Estates is not in the City of Worthington but there are chapters on Worthington Hills and Chaseland. Those neighborhoods are not in the city of Worthington.  Worthington Hills is in Perry and Sharon Townships.. southern edge of Worthington Hills there may even be part that is in the City of Columbus... Chaseland is in the City of Columbus.  The reason Chaseland is included in Worthington Neighborhoods book published by the Worthington Historical Society is interesting. 

In the Potters Creek chapter in Worthington neighborhoods it mentions Brookside Estates. The neighborhood does not even make the Alphabetical Listing of Worthington Neighborhoods

Brookside Estates is in Perry Township or most of it is...  I thought all of it was.  A litte, itty bitty part that is in the City of Columbus is in the Brookside Estates West "subdivision."


Brookside Country Club was founded in the1920's.  The development of the Brookside Estates subdivision did not come along until much, much later.   The BIA Parade of homes site in 1955 was Brookside Estates -   Archive of Columbus BIA  home builders parade location

The Brookside Country Club site says:

"Founded in 1927, Brookside is nestled naturally within 260 acres of pristine landscape in Worthington, OH between 315 and Sawmill Road."


They also say:

"Tudor Style Clubhouse built in the early 1930's"

Brookside neighborhoods...

 

Brookside Area

 

The Brookside neighborhoods

Brookside Colony, Brookside Estates, Brookside Village, and Brookside Woods are all in the 43235 ZIP code.   The Brookside neighborhoods are east of Sawmill Rd.  The four Brookside neighborhoods are north of 161 (Dublin Granville Road) and inside 270.   Brookside Estates was built around Brookside Golf and Country Club... most of Brookside Estates is east of the golf course...  Brookside Estates West is west of the golf course, of course... Brookside Estates West really does NOT show on this map, the 1 on the map just north of 161 is in Brookside Estates West.  The number 11 is probably also in Brookside Estates West.

Brookside Village and Brookside Colony are north of Snouffer Rd.  Brookside Estates and Brookside Woods are south of Snouffer Rd.  Brookside Woods is west of the golf course.

Municipality (what city or township a house is in)

The grand-daddy (oldest) of the neighborhoods in the Brookside area is Brookside Estates... Brookside Estates is in Perry Township...or most of Brookside Estates is in Perry Township... a few homes  at least a few homes in Brookside Estates West are in the City of Columbus.

Brookside Colony, Brookside Village and Brookside Woods are all in the City of Columbus.

School District

Brookside Colony is in the Dublin School District.

Brookside Estates and Brookside Village are in the Worthington School District.

Part of the Brookside Woods area is in the Dublin School District and part of the Brookside Woods neighborhood is in the Worthington School District....

Sesame Street Worthington OH 43085

There is no Sesame Street in the Worthington OH 43085 ZIP code... or Columbus OH 43085 for that matter. I used Google Maps to be sure.

Wouldn't Worthington area neighborhoods be easier to sort out if they weren't all named Worthington?

Remember "One of these things is not like the other..." Just in case you don't remember here is song from Big Bird.... 

OK the big bowl of bird seed....is not the same as the other three.

You knew.

"You are so smart!"

One of these things is not like the other...

"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?"

  1. Villages at Worthington
  2. Worthington Crossing
  3. Worthington Estates
  4. Worthington Highlands

 

One of these things is not like the other...

The difference? Worthington Estates is in the City of Worthington.  The others are not.

Villages at Worthington, Worthington Highlands and Worthington Crossing are in the City of Columbus.  Those three neighborhoods are in the Worthington School District.  

Just to make it totally confusing Worthington Highlands and Worthington Crossing have Westerville mailing addresses!

Rule of thumb... most of the neighborhoods with the word Worthington in their name are not in the City of Worthington but are instead in the City of Columbus or Perry Township... or they could be in Sharon Township. 

"W-O-R-T-H-I-N-G-T-O-N" will be abbreviated Wo throughout the rest of this post to keep Google etc. from thinking I am trying to do something funny....

City of Columbus

Lakes of Wo.

Ravines at Wo.

Villages at Wo.

Village at Wo. Crossing

Wo. Crossing

Wo. Forest Condominiums

Wo. Glen (not to be confused with Worthinglen but that's another story...)

Wo. Heights

Wo. Highlands

Wo. Mill

Wo. Park*

Wo. Run

Wo. Trace

Wo. Woods Condominiums

 

Perry and Sharon Township

Wo Hills...

Most of Worthington Hills is in Perry Township just a few streets on the eastern edge of the large neighborhood are in Sharon Township.  ... Well actually I guess on the south end there are homes which are in the city of Worthington, on the south end of the huge neighborhood.

City of Worthington

Wo Estates

Wo Park*

Residence of Wo.

and of course Old Worthington...

Can you think of other City of Worthington neighborhoods with the word Worthington in their name?

 

* There are 3 Worthington Park neighborhoods  There is a neighborhood called Wo Park off Worthington Galena Road, condos named Wo. Park off Sancus and a much older City of Worthington neighborhood with the same name.  I think the original neighborhood should have been able to call dibs on the name and not shared it....
