Colonial Hills, Worthington Ohio

Colonial Hills is a neighborhood on the south end of the City of Worthington.  Colonial Hills Elementary School is at 5800 Greenwich Street, Worthington Ohio 43085.

Colonial Hills Elementary School

5800 Greenwich St.,  Worthington OH. 43085 - Map

The 2009 - 2010 Ohio Department of Education   Report Card for Colonial Hills Elementary School

The Colonal Hills Elementary School attendence area includes the Colonial Hills, part of  Old Worthington, and the Rush Creek Village neighborhood.  The boundaries of the current attendence area for Colonial Hills Elementary School are Dublin Granville  Rd. (State Route 161) to the north and High Street to the west. The eastern and southern borders are the city of Worthington Corporation limits I believe.   The south east corner of the City of Worthington like much of the city of Worthington is an established and stable part of the city and school district, there is no space for new neighborhoods.  Yet redistricting within the Worthington City School District due to population changes is always a possibility.  The Worthington City School District website has a map of the attendence areas for individual schools and a street guide.  Always check what schools a property address attends for yourself and realize it may be subject to change, within the school district.

Currently the middle school for the Colonial Hills Elementary School attendence area is Kilbourne Middel School on E. Dublin Granville Rd. and the high school is Thomas Worthington on W. Dublin Granville Rd.

Colonial Hills Open House - 425 Kenbrook Dr. Worthington OH 43085

425 Kenbrook Dr. Worthington OH 43085

 

Colonial Hills Open House   425 Kenbrook Dr.  Worthington OH 43085

Priced at $154,750, click on the link for more details and photos of 425 Kenbrook Dr.

Open Sunday October 17, 2010  2:00 to 4:00 hosted by Maureen McCabe.

The floor plan of 425 Kenbrook Drive in Colonial Hills? The floor plan was called "The Meriden" according to George Campbell's Colonial Hills History. How often can you find that kind of information about homes built more than 50 years ago?  There are such subtle differences in the one story floor plans until reading Campbell's Colonial Hills history I lumped the Colonial Hills one story homes together as one style.   He has examples of the different homes in the first section of Colonial Hills that was built.

Colonial Hills real estate market October 2010

Colonial Hills - Fourth of July

Colonial Hills Civic Association hosts its first Fourth of July celebration,  from the Timeline on the Worthington Memory site   The year? 

1945 

"July 4, 1945  Worthington        Colonial Hills Civic Association hosts its first Fourth of July celebration" 

This years Fourth of July Celebration was yesterday, July 3, 2010 according to the neighborhood website.  1945 was before holidays were Mondays, and before Colonial Hills was in the City of Worthington... actually it was before there was a city of Worthington.  Worthington was a village, when the Colonial Hills neighborhood was annexed in the 1950s,  Worthington was big enough to become a city.  

Next weekend the 2010 Worthington Historical Society's Home and Garden Tour is in Colonial Hills.  There will be a history talk at the shelter house.

Worthington's Colonial Hills ahead of it's time

Colonial Hills, Worthington Ohio

Worthington's Colonial Hills ahead of it's time


Sharon Alters in Florida wrote 'Are factory built homes the next wave of New Construction' on her ActiveRain blog. ActiveRain is an International real estate network... we consort with Canadians!   There are some Australians on ActiveRain. And members in India... Perhaps elsewhere. 

Florida seems local in comparison. 

Sharon references and links to an article about "prefab" homes online, from a publication for real estate licensees who are members of the National Association of Realtors. 

Sharon wrote: 

"An article from the online Realtor® news today announced that factory-built homes are becoming more acceptable. Their cost factor of 10-35% less, plus the short length of time to build is helping them gain in popularity throughout the country, says the Manufactured Housing Institute. " 


Reading Sharon's article I wanted to say at first "we don't really have much in the way of modular homes in our market " then I think of Colonial Hills.  The first Colonial Hills homes were built back in 1942 I believe? Or assembled.   The homes were built elsewhere.

The Realtor Mag online info  is quoting an article from the Chicago Tribune written by Leslie Mann, last week, which says:

"One problem is the difficulty potential buyers have finding information and qualified builders. "We have not, as an industry, learned to promote our homes," admits Vic DePhillips,
chairman of the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Building Systems Councils."

Worthington's Colonial Hills ahead of it's time?

Colonial Hills homes are Colonial in style.  They were built very afford-ably as rental housing during the Second World War.  The one story, cape cod and two story homes are small homes. Oh and there are just a handful of  split levels... Colonial Hills is a very popular Worthington neighborhood today.

Prefabrication in the 1940s.

Worthington historian George Campbell's Colonial Hills History site deals with "prefabrication" or modular homes.  The first 200 homes in Colonial Hills were built elsewhere and arrived via train to be assembled.   Colonial Hills History, shows Central Ohio was ahead of it's time.

I went to a presentation Campbell gave recently about Colonial Hills history. Campbell showed slides with examples of the modular construction of a Colonial Hills garage. 


Then there was Lustron... 

Perhaps in time the rest of the world will catch up with Worthington and Central Ohio.

Colonial Hills, Worthington Ohio -The Friendly Community

Colonial Hills, Worthington Ohio The Friendly Community sign

 

Colonial Hills, WORTHINGTON OHIO - THE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY  brought to you by Maureen McCabe Real Living HER Worthington.

The sign on the north side of the Colonial Hills neighborhood says the Colonial Hills community is friendly so it must be so!  The community website also refers to the community as "THE FRIENDLY COMMNITY"

According to Jennie McCormick's book, 'Worthington Neighborhoods' the residents formed the Colonial Hills Civic Association in 1952.  The neighborhood was annexed to the Village of Worthington in 1954 and the combined population of the village established in 1803 and the little 1940's "colonial look village"  down the road joined together.  Combined the two communities were big enough for Worthington to become a city if I am understanding the history correctly.

Today in Colonial Hills,  WORTHINGTON OHIO - THE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY 2010 the little community is going strong and still a friendly community.

Tomorrow is the Colonial Hills neighborhood Easter Egg hunt!

According to the Colonial Hills Civic Association website, Saturday March 27 10:00 AM is the Colonial Hills Easter Egg Hunt at Selby Park, with the Rain Date Saturday, April 4 at 10:00 AM. What about snow?  There is snow on the ground this morning.

There are over a dozen Colonial Hills homes on the market now ranging in price from $145,000 to $239,000. One story, cape, two story and a split.

Park Blvd.

Indianola Ave.

Selby Blvd and High St.   A landmark?  St. Michael's Church is on the northeast corner, turn east into the Colonial Hills neighborhood from High Street.

Colonial Hills History

1950's video of Colonial Hills after a huge snowstorm....

 



I found the video via George Campbell's Colonial Hills History site. He says the storm in the video was in November 1950. November for anyone reading this from outside Central Ohio ... we don't usually have snow in November... a few flurries maybe...
