Schools, pricing trends, and local development.
What does it really cost to own in Upper Arlington, including the tax side?
Upper Arlington carries the highest typical home value in our sourced data, and the school funding question on the 2026 ballot is part of the cost of owning here. Price the tax line as carefully as the purchase price.
Start from the typical value and rent below, then add the tax line. CREN reported a 2026 ballot question that combines a $273.5 million bond with 4.9 mills. A bond and a millage change the monthly payment for every owner in the district, so ask your lender to quote the payment under the outcome rather than under today's bill alone.
Verify first
- The current tax bill and what the ballot outcome would add
- The exact attendance area for the address
- Age of the roof, mechanical systems, and any addition permits
- Whether recent comparable sales match the home's condition
- Lot, setback, and renovation limits before you plan work
Best for
- Buyers prioritising schools and established neighborhoods
- Move-up buyers who want to stay inside the outerbelt
- Owners tracking the tax and levy side of a housing decision
Not best for
- Buyers looking for the metro's lower price bands
- Anyone who wants new construction with minimal maintenance
- Readers who treat one strong sales week as a market trend
Local-life stack
- Lane Avenue retail and its current tenants
- Neighborhood parks and city recreation programs
- School district decisions and their funding
- Resale depth in a district with few new lots
What changed
- The Shops on Lane Avenue split a former anchor space into three tenants
- The 2026 ballot combines a $273.5 million bond with 4.9 mills
- Upper Arlington led one week of high-price county sales, which is one week and not a trend
