Worthingway neighborhood

The Worthingway neighborhood in Worthington Ohio was built in the early 1960s. A Worthingway map shows streets now in the City of Worthington including  Longfellow, Poe, Hawthorne,  Stevenson, Thackery...  authors names... great authors names.   Other streets if they are writers names they are beyond my literary knowledge, Riley?, Bryant?, Tonbridge and Highgate?  

An ad for the Worthingway neighborhood from a Worthington Chamber of Commerce publication from 1964:

Worthingway ad Walter T. Krumm

The Walter T.  Krumm advertisement for NEW homes in Worthingway says the Worthingway neigbhorhood is  north of "Worthington Proper"?  Worthingway and Worthington Estates were out in the country north of Worthington!  The two neighborhoods as well as what is NOW north of them  Olentangy Hills, Ville Charmonte and  Worthington Square was "out in the country" in the 1960s.  It sounds as if the Worthingway and Worthington Estates neighborhoods were in an unicorporated area outside the Cityof Worthington,  Worthingway would have been in Sharon Township when it was built.

Today the Worthingway neighborhood is well inside of the City of Worthington.

Worthington's Worthingway



View Larger Map

"Location, location, location" is one of the best descriptions of the Worthingway neighborhood in Worthington Ohio . I've anchored the Google map here on Masefield Street the farthest west street in Worthingway.  The south end of the Worthingway neighborhood is Highgate which backs to Medick Estates.

Worthingway is a pretty location.  Tucked back off of High Street but a lot of the appeal of the neighborhood that was built in the 1960's has for buyers and long term owners is the convenience to schools, Old Worthington, parks, the bike path and more.  

Over the past couple of years most of the listings in the Columbus Board of Realtors multiple listing service say "location, location, location" in various ways: 

"Across from the Parklands! 1 of Worthington's best locations. Walk to schools, busline, shopping & bike path. "

"Great location w/walking distance to schools K-12"

"Backs up to park and Olentangy bike trails."

"A must see in this sought after neighborhood!!" 

"walls of windows that look out onto a private bird sanctuary." 

"Wonderful location!" 

"Close to schools, parks, shops, uptown area!"

"Fantastic Location" 

"STEPS FROM THE BIKE PATH AND WORTHINGTON SCHOOLS!"

Yes that last REALTOR® was screaming (all caps)  she was so excited about the Worthingway home's location.  She also had a typo which I corrected... unless there is a BIKE BATH near by.
