Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the preferred transportation option in this part of the Columbus metropolitan area. It is very easy to come across a place to park, and many houses for sale are a short drive from the closest highway, such as Jack Nicklaus Freeway. However, the transit system in Blendon is not very practical. This community is not particularly cycling-friendly because there are a fair number of hills, and there are very few bike lanes. This part of the Columbus metropolitan area is also not especially suitable for pedestrians since meeting daily needs is occasionally difficult without a car.

Services

The closest grocery store in Blendon is usually only a rather short distance away. Furthermore, a restaurant is commonly just around the corner, and residents can enjoy a few cafes as well. When it comes to education, property buyers will value the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from vast majority houses for sale in this community. However, high schools are not plentiful and thus tend to require a very long distance to get to. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools.

Character

Blendon is a fairly good community to buy a house in for those who prefer a relaxed ambience. There are approximately 40 green spaces close by for residents to enjoy, such as Casto Park and Inniswood Metro Gardens, and they are especially well-spread out, making it easy to access them. Most areas in this community are quiet, as there are usually low levels of noise from traffic - although that is not the case closer to Jack Nicklaus Freeway.
