If you’ve been paying attention to Columbus news at all, you know the Intel chip factory in New Albany is a significant development. A $20 billion significant development.
What you might not realize is how much it’s already affecting the rental market here in Worthington.
We’ve had three inquiries this month alone from people relocating for Intel-related jobs. Engineers, project managers, construction supervisors. These folks need housing and they need it quickly.
Worthington is well-positioned. Great schools for families, easy highway access to New Albany, and that small-town feel people moving from out of state are looking for.
For property owners: if you’ve been on the fence about renting your property, this is a favorable time. Demand is strong and getting stronger.
For renters: be prepared. Good properties aren’t sitting on the market long. Have your documents ready and be prepared to move quickly when you find something you like.
