A Columbus suburb with access to retail and greenspaces

The suburb of Brookside Woods is structured around Brookside Golf & Country Club. "It's a well-established family community," says Realtor Anita Smith, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Epcon Realty. "It's a great location with access to hospitals, restaurants, shopping. There are also mature trees." Residents who pay for memberships at the club benefit from its green fairways, swimming pool, fitness center, dining options and year-round events. The neighborhood also offers public greenspaces that are within walking distance. There are two shopping centers on the neighborhood's west and southwest borders. The centers offer big-box retailers and chain restaurants. Since the neighborhood is just south of Columbus' outer belt, the neighborhood attracts a lot of commuters.

A country club and two parks

Houses surround Brookside Golf & Country Club, which has 18 holes and was founded in 1927. The member-owned club sits on 260 acres and includes a fitness center, five clay tennis courts, two hard courts, pickleball courts and a Z-shaped Olympic pool. "Only a small percentage of members live in Brookside Woods and Brookside Estates," says Laurie Steller, director of membership and marketing at the country club. The club has multiple dining options. "People grab sandwiches to-go at this place called the Treehouse, which is on the golf course," Steller says. "The Pub restaurant in the clubhouses serves steaks, pasta, wraps and burgers." The club is also a popular social venue. "Every month, there are multiple events," Steller says. "There are pool parties, wine dinners, father-daughter dances, mother-son dances and ladies' tea parties." There are two public greenspaces within the community that residents can walk to. Brookside Woods Park has a playground, a picnic shelter, a basketball court and swing sets. The 17-acre Sawmill Wetlands Education Area has walking trails and bridges over vernal pools. Phoenix Middle School borders Perry Park, a 22-acre greenspace with a soccer field, a baseball diamond, a playground and a tot lot.
