Galena is a small, growing village in southern Delaware County that feels tucked away while still being close to everything. Just about 25 miles north of Columbus, it offers a calm, hometown atmosphere where days move a little slower and neighbors still feel like neighbors.
Nature is the headline here. Galena sits near the north end of Hoover Reservoir and at the meeting point of Big Walnut and Little Walnut Creeks, so water views, wildlife, and fresh air weekends are part of everyday life. Boating, kayaking, fishing, and trail time are right around the corner, making it a dream spot for anyone who wants an outdoorsy lifestyle without leaving the metro orbit.
The best part is how Galena blends quiet living with real convenience. Families love the community feel and access to the Big Walnut school district, while commuters appreciate the quick drive to Polaris, Westerville, and the rest of Central Ohio. It’s peaceful, scenic, and steadily rising in popularity, perfect for buyers who want space, beauty, and a true small town home base.
