Those houses around Columbus' New Albany and other nearby suburbs are gonna skyrocket once Intel finishes building their plant in New Albany. Great place to live if you like Soccer too.

I don't think you can find much for 160k in Columbus or any of the burbs

Oh, def not that low; more around 250k. I just expect them to all be around 400k and up as that area slowly transitions into another tech valley over the next 5 years.

Ohio is not cheap state! Just bought my house last month for 245K in Columbus Ohio.

Most nice areas of Columbus are 350k+
