Gahanna
East-side growth, airport corridor demand, and infill activity.
Is Gahanna's downtown redevelopment far enough along to count on?
Gahanna is a mid-priced east-side suburb next to the airport employment corridor. Its Creekside redevelopment sites have been cleared, and CREN's reporting has repeatedly found that construction plans there are still early. Value the city on what stands today.
Start with the typical value and rent below and compare them against Westerville, New Albany, and Bexley in the same table. Do not price in the Creekside redevelopment. Cleared land is not a completed district, and no construction schedule has been set in our reporting.

Questions people ask about Gahanna
When will Gahanna's Creekside redevelopment be built?
No schedule has been established in our reporting. CREN found the sites cleared with construction unset, then checked again later and found the plans still early. Ask the city for the current phase before you treat it as a reason to buy nearby.
Our reporting: Gahanna Creekside Site Is Cleared, but Plans Are Still EarlyHow does Gahanna price against New Albany?
The comparison table on this page puts both typical home values and both rents side by side from the same source and period. The two cities sit at different levels, and the table shows the size of that gap without either of us estimating it.
Is the airport corridor a factor for homeowners here?
It is an employment factor and a property factor. CREN reported a $42 million sale of an industrial campus near the airport. For a home purchase, check the flight path and noise conditions at the specific address rather than for the city as a whole.
