If you are moving from DC the columbus "traffic" will feel like nothing. If you like your space Blacklick would be a good choice. Otherwise worthington is great, alot of thier neighborhoods are pretty much crime free, they are not cookie cutter subdivisions, so there is some nice affordable housing. My girlfriend's (GSXRnurse) mother is a mortagage broker and has been working in columbus for 20+ years so she knows her shit and could hook you up with a very knowledgable agent to show you around. Westerville is ok most of it, unless near otterbein, is brand new subdivisions that look exactely the same as every other house. Because of the current high inventory of new homes for sale, do not move there if you plan on selling in the next few years as it is very likely that you would take a very small gain or even a loss.
