Make "Central Ohio's Hometown" yours.

Family-Friendly Live-Work-Play Strong Economy Good Schools Historic

Groveport earned the nickname "Central Ohio's Hometown" for good reason — this small Franklin County city carries nearly two centuries of history while sitting just 10 miles from downtown Columbus. It got its unique name in 1846 when two rival canal towns, Wert's Grove and Rarey's Port, merged into one. That layered past remains visible today, from the 1815 Groveport Log House to the Groveport Heritage Museum, where locals connect with the story of one of Ohio's earliest canal communities. Life here feels unhurried, with easy access to green spaces, local dining, and shops, all without the bustle of the city center. When Columbus calls, I-270 puts you there in minutes.

The rental landscape offers solid variety, from townhomes and garden-style apartments to spacious three-bedroom layouts. The proximity to Rickenbacker International Airport and major employers makes this a practical base for those wanting suburban comfort without sacrificing career opportunities. Whether you're drawn by the deep local roots or the straightforward commute, Groveport delivers a grounded, welcoming place to call home.
