Neighborhood highlights

Walnut is a quiet township 30 minutes south of Columbus. In the middle of Ohio farmfields growing corn, soybeans and wheat, we are the heartland. The house sits atop a hill with a great view of sky and fields. It's opposite a peaceful cemetery. An elementary school is located below the hill, so occasionally there is noise of children at play. There are a few neighbors, but you will have space to roam.
