What Kind Of House Does $250K Get You In Columbus? 🏠

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

It is a chilly one out there folks, so I'm gonna start by recommending that you wear your favorite comfy sweater today. We're waking up gently this morning with a little house hunting. If you're wondering just how much house $250k will get you around Columbus, I'm here to show you. There are tons of beautiful options at this price point, from urban condos to single-family homes with massive yards.

Anybody looking for a mini-road trip? If so, I highly suggest a visit to Grandpa Joe's in Chillicothe. Grandpa Joe’s is filled wall to wall with every candy you can imagine, and if they don't have it, they'll help you find it. Who's ready for a sugar rush?

This is a nice idea for a day out with kids that I've never seen suggested before - the OSU airport. There's a little souvenir shop, a Brutus Buckeye statue all geared up and ready to fly, and you can watch the planes land and take off for as long as it takes a kid to get bored. Not bad!

The recently closed Vice unit was singlehandedly responsible for $785,000 in settlements just in the past year, and the highest single settlement ($780,000) was for an incident in 2016 when an officer shot a four-year-old girl in the thigh - the officer was

and missed.
