Grove City is located just 10 miles southwest of downtown Columbus, and is fast becoming one of the largest suburbs in Metro Columbus! According to a recent article in Columbus Business First, Grove City’s most recent census pegs its population at 39,721 residents. This marks a 42.3% increase in population since the year 2000. Here are more highlights from the article, along with our own insights!
At the current rate of growth, Grove City could become the largest suburb in Metro Columbus by 2020! Currently, Dublin is the largest suburb in Metro Columbus, with 45,568 residents.
What’s drawing people to Grove City? As we pointed out in one of our prior blog posts, Grove City began as a modest pioneer village in the 1850’s, but has become a significant economic hub that is home to over 1,000 businesses. Employment growth has helped fuel a local real estate boom, with median home prices up about 30% since 2013.
New residents are also attracted to Grove City for its historic, walkable downtown and variety of amenities. Community events are numerous. One such example is the annual Grove City Homecoming Celebration, coming up on July 28, 2017, located in the Grove City Town Center.
Despite a steady rise in median home prices, Grove City remains affordable for home buyers, thanks to a variety of housing stock. Median home prices are hovering around $187,700, but inventory priced under $200,000 is becoming lean.
The redevelopment of Beulah Park, a former horseracing site consisting of 212 acres, will attract new residents who are looking for an urban lifestyle within a small-town atmosphere. Concepts for Beulah Park include hundreds of new residential units, along with office and retail space, and a 50-acre community park. The new, walkable community will connect to the Grove City Town Center. The exact details of the development plan are still underway, and can be followed at the Facebook page and the city website.
