Wrong.
Nicer homes? You show me Murfield, I'll show you New Albany Farms (lowest value is 1.7 million). You show me Tartan Fields or Loch Lomond, I'll show you Colt's Neck, Stepping Stone, Windrush Creek (where Ricart lives), or most of the homes off Mann Rd.
More money? I scoff at that. We've got Wexner, Lombardi (Invented the plastic knee, owns more $xxx,xxx cars than you have fingers), the Lieberts (approximate value of $500 million), shall I go on?
Better Schools? Alright, that is a complete fucking joke. I'll give you Olentangy, that is a growing school, and Dublin schools arent bad. Worthington Kilbourne and Thomas Worthington aren't exactly gems, and Westerville schools are a joke. GLHS isn't great, but New Albany HS is one of the most reputable public schools (even though everyone's a stoner, they manage to get into good colleges), and who can forget my alma mater, The Columbus Academy. Yeah, we're preppy bitches, but 99.9% college matriculation (2 people in the last 2 years went straight to Broadway careers) says something.
More big businesses? The Limited, M/I Homes, Nationwide. The draw for those is primarily east side.
You can't talk about resale value without talking about New Albany. Nowhere else in Columbus could such a poor quality house be so overvalued as in New Albany. I remember when my family was looking for a house before we moved, and we considered several in NA. After walking through them, and seeing the minor details that show less than stellar quality, its obvious that nowhere has better property value inflation than NA.
Plus its harder for those Cleveland and Akron retards to get to us.
