Brookside Estates Columbus Ohio 43235

I was surprised that the book 'Worthington Neighborhoods' by Jennie McCormick does not have a chapter on Brookside Estates. Brookside Estates is not in the City of Worthington but there are chapters on Worthington Hills and Chaseland. Those neighborhoods are not in the city of Worthington. Worthington Hills is in Perry and Sharon Townships.. southern edge of Worthington Hills there may even be part that is in the City of Columbus... Chaseland is in the City of Columbus. The reason Chaseland is included in Worthington Neighborhoods book published by the Worthington Historical Society is interesting.

In the Potters Creek chapter in Worthington neighborhoods it mentions Brookside Estates. The neighborhood does not even make the Alphabetical Listing of Worthington Neighborhoods

Brookside Estates is in Perry Township or most of it is... I thought all of it was. A litte, itty bitty part that is in the City of Columbus is in the Brookside Estates West "subdivision."

Brookside Country Club was founded in the1920's. The development of the Brookside Estates subdivision did not come along until much, much later. The BIA Parade of homes site in 1955 was Brookside Estates - Archive of Columbus BIA home builders parade location

The Brookside Country Club site says:

"Founded in 1927, Brookside is nestled naturally within 260 acres of pristine landscape in Worthington, OH between 315 and Sawmill Road."

They also say:

"Tudor Style Clubhouse built in the early 1930's"

Real Living's "expansion unit" was bought by a company called Brookfield Residential Property Services. Real Living just became five times larger.... "expansion unit" comes from the title of a Columbus Business First article.

We (Real Living HER agents) got an email (with the press release) last night and a voice mail.

I work for Real Living HER. That is the company formerly known as HER Realtors. HER Realtors has been a leader in Central Ohio real estate for decades. Real Living HER is the number one real estate company in Central Ohio.

Real Living formed in 2002 is based in Columbus. The "expansion unit" part of Real Living is Real Living Network Services.

Matt Burns of Columbus Business First wrote about changes in Brookfield buys Real Living expansion unit

"The name of Central Ohio’s largest residential real estate brokerage will appear in nearly every state after its Columbus parent sold the division that powered its national expansion."

Brookfield owns GMAC real estate, has for about 9 months... GMAC real estate franchises across the US are the offices that will now have the Real Living name, logo, technology etc.

The Columbus Business First article says: "All of GMAC’s more than 600 offices will take the Real Living name."

Who's who....

Harley Rouda Jr. is the president of the new merged company...

Real Living

Real Living HER = Columbus

Real Living Realty Services - Dayton, Cinci, Louisville (I get this franchise confused with Real Living Network Services, the "expansion unit" of Real Living. )

There are Real Living franchises currently in 20 states, there will soon be the red and white signs in 46 states from what I am reading and hearing.

Brookfield Residential Property Services is a division of Brookfield Asset Management Inc.

GMAC Real Estate

The Columbus Dispatch article this morning: Real Living joins GMAC realty unit in merger written by Jim Weiker says:

"The deal, consummated this month and announced today, merges Real Living's 2,000 agents in 130 offices with approximately 8,000 GMAC Real Estate agents in 470 U.S. offices. It creates a company with $20 billion in annual real-estate transactions. About 8,000 of GMAC's 13,000 agents in the United States and Canada are expected to become part of Real Living."

What's the effect for buyers and sellers in Central Ohio? Not much, you've already got the good stuff available.

It's not the 2009 TV show Glee (I've seen it a couple of times...) Worthington Glee Club 1937 from Don O'Brien who grew up in Worthington.  Visit O'Brien's  Flickr photostream for lots of interesting photos of Worthington from the 1930s and 1940s. 

O'Brien wrote on Flickr,  "I was in 7th grade when I took the photo with my 620 Kodak folding camera. I think Miss Sanford, the Worthington school music teacher is the leader. I don't recognize any of the girls because they were several years older than I was.

The photo was taken in the old high school building, now the new art center. In 1937, grades 9-12 were in the building"

The ribbon cutting for the Peggy McConnell Arts Center in the "Packard" building was Sunday I believe.   

The architect of the original building was Frank Packard.  Have you been yet?  

The arts center is beautiful from a distance.

There are lots of current photos in an album there, 'Mac Grand Opening.'
