Bexley, Ohio is one of Central Ohio’s most beloved suburbs — a place where historic charm meets modern living, and a strong sense of community is felt on every block. Whether you're looking to relocate or simply curious about what makes Bexley so special, here’s a closer look at what it's like to call this beautiful city home.
A Small City with Big Character
Located just a few miles east of downtown Columbus, Bexley blends the best of both worlds: the energy of the city and the tranquility of a close-knit neighborhood. Its tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and walkable neighborhoods give it a timeless appeal. From stately brick homes to storybook Tudors, Bexley is known for its beautiful, well-preserved properties.
Top-Rated Schools & Academic Excellence
One of Bexley’s biggest draws is its highly ranked public school system. Bexley City Schools consistently perform at the top in Ohio for academics, arts, and extracurriculars. The community values education, and it shows — making Bexley a top choice for families.
The city is also home to Capital University, a private liberal arts college that adds to the area's vibrant energy and cultural offerings.
Walkable Living with Local Flair
Bexley offers a true sense of place with a walkable downtown full of local favorites. Grab a latte at Kittie’s Café, browse indie books at Gramercy Books, or catch a movie at the historic Drexel Theatre. Dining options range from cozy neighborhood spots to upscale experiences — all with that welcoming, local vibe.
The Main Street corridor is the heartbeat of the community, hosting seasonal events, farmer’s markets, and holiday parades that bring neighbors together year-round.
Parks & Green Spaces
Despite its proximity to downtown Columbus, Bexley offers plenty of green space. Jeffrey Park and Mansion is a local gem, offering trails, gardens, and community events throughout the year. You’ll also find pocket parks, playgrounds, and wide sidewalks that make the neighborhood perfect for a morning jog or evening stroll.
A Strong Sense of Community
Bexley isn't just a place to live — it’s a place to belong. Residents take pride in their community, and it shows in the well-maintained homes, active neighborhood associations, and constant buzz of local events.
