“Towns on the Greenway” to Welcome New Neighbors, Protect Nature

Work is underway to bring a new neighborhood to Westerville.

Located just south of County Line Road, construction on “Towns on the Greenway” began in November 2022 and was celebrated with a ceremonial groundbreaking. Developer Pulte Homes hopes to open a model home as early as the fourth quarter of 2023.

“A new neighborhood doesn’t happen all the time in Westerville, so this is an occasion to warmly invite the people who will call Westerville home to become part of the fabric of our community,” said Monica Irelan, Westerville City Manager, at the November groundbreaking. “These neighbors will grow with us and become part of a vibrant central Ohio community that is standing out across the nation for quality of life, particularly with home and job quality.”

The development will feature two single-family homes and 82 townhouses, with almost half of the site dedicated to open space on 13 acres formerly owned and farmed by the Brown family. A family member sold the property to Pulte earlier this year.

The plans include a pedestrian connection to the Westerville Community Center (350 N. Cleveland Ave.) via a new pedestrian bridge over the Alkyre Run, as well as measures to protect the stream corridor, floodplain and wetland.
