The homes of Broadleigh

The main attraction in Broadleigh is its affordable housing prices, according to Wellington Lyman, owner, agent and principal broker at Reafco Real Estate. “You can find a single-family home for under $200,000," says Lyman. "For that, you get a lot of house—sometimes over 1,500 square feet.” The homes of Broadleigh come in the form of Cape Cod, New Traditional and ranch-style homes built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Most have modest front yards home and one-car driveways, and established sidewalks line most of the streets. Those looking to purchase a home in the community can expect a price range from $140,000 for a two-bedroom home to $370,000 for a larger, recently updated house.

The greens of Columbus Country Club

Just a 2.3-mile drive away from Broadleigh is Columbus Country Club. “It’s great for networking if you’re in sales and have a lot of clients,” Lyman says. “They also have great tennis courts, a par-three golf course for the kids, and a pool. That’s my favorite.” Those looking to get outside minus the golf clubs head to Jeffrey Park, situated on the east side of Alum Creek.

Passing trains and planes

To the north of the community are the tracks of the Central Ohio Railroad, as well as the runway of the John Glenn Columbus International Airport. As a result of this, those living close do experience background noise in the form of passing trains and planes. Those who are sensitive to noise should consider this before moving into the community.
