Delaware is the kind of Central Ohio town that feels both classic and confidently on the rise. About 25 miles north of Columbus, it pairs small city ease with a rich history and a lively, youthful spark thanks to Ohio Wesleyan University right in the heart of town.
Historic Downtown Delaware is the star of the show, brick buildings, locally owned boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants that make it easy to turn a quick errand into an afternoon out. The area has seen thoughtful revitalization, adding energy and walkability while keeping the charming, old school vibe intact.
Outdoor life is woven into everyday living here, too. The Olentangy River runs right through town, and nearby parks and trails give Delaware that “fresh air is part of the routine” feel. Add in community staples like the Strand Theatre and big local events (hello, Delaware County Fair), and you’ve got a place that’s friendly, active, and full of hometown pride.
