It's not the greatest lot to walk through to the Kroger, but it's rarely busy enough to be a hassle. I just wish it connected to the sidewalked neighborhood behind it. I lived on Main across from Flyer's for three years. I regularly walked to Kroger. Usually I'd go back through that neighborhood to Degenhart and back up Lesleh instead of walking down Main.

 

I also regularly walked down to Ace Hardware and the farmer's market, again the back way to Wirt instead of Main.

 

I also walked my dog all over creation around Groveport. Down to the rec center, around and back etc. It's no walker's paradise, but Groveport is definitely walkable. More so now than when I moved four plus years ago.

Groveport is very walkable compared to many other suburbs when it comes to amenities you regularly need, and this is evident by the amount of people I regularly see walking to things like Kroger. How many suburbs have a full-fledged grocery store that you can safely and easily walk to? In addition to that you can walk to multiple banks, barbershops/hairdressers, convenience stores, restaurants, a dentist and eye doctor, two different vets, numerous churches, and numerous parks. Even the rec and aquatic center is safely walkable to a good number of people in town. Heck, the two elementary and middle schools are even safely walkable for most of the kids. 
 

Groveport is no paradise. Far from it. But it’s definitely an underrated suburb and it’s very difficult to beat for the price. It’s just a shame the school district is such a mess, most of which isn’t even within the city of Groveport. 

 

Groveport lands Reliable Healthcare investment

 

Reliable Healthcare Solutions will add 106 full-time jobs, generating more than $7.7 million in new annual payroll, thanks to relocating its center of operations and distribution operations from Jacksonville, Florida to Groveport in southeast Franklin County.

 

The company is a leading distributor of medical supplies that serves pharmacies, durable medical equipment (DME) providers, and health care facilities nationwide, and the move better positions the company to serve customers while expanding. The Groveport location will hold RHS's corporate functions and a learning and development center, ensuring long-term workforce training and innovation, according to information from One Columbus.

Groveport eyes growth with planned annexation of 300 developable acres

Groveport's boundaries could soon expand with the annexation of about 300 acres, with future development on the horizon.

City council gave the annexation of multiple parcels totaling 296 acres at 5910 Ebright Road in Madison Township a first reading at its Monday meeting.

The resolution's third and final reading is expected to take place in July, Michael Loges, Groveport's development director, told me.

That is the location of Groveport's only hill. I hope we don't lose the hill.
