Riverlea to become part of Worthington?  There is oppositon to the Annexation of The Village of Riverlea. That could be shocking news for those who did not realize Riverlea is NOT a subdivision in Worthington. There was a Columbus Dispatch article I read that said many who live in Riverlea at some point became aware that Riverlea was not part of Worthington.  Annexation of Riverlea by Worthington is on the November 2011 ballot.    I got to interview the Opposition Forces to the Riverlea Annexation, Gregory Bonk.   His website is:  Against Annexation 1. Who gets to vote on annexation? Riverlea residents? or Riverlea and Worthington residents? Both Riverlea and Worthington Residents will be voting on the issue. It appears as issue #60 on the ballot 2. How organized are the opposition forc... 10/21/2011

Riverlea home prices brought to you by Maureen McCabe of Real Living HER The graph is active and sale prices for Riverlea for the past 15 months.  What does the Rivelea home prices graph tell you?  Mostly the graph tell you that Riverlea is dinky.  Reallly, really small.  There are five homes on the market.  Nothing sold in the Village of Riverlea in February 2011 according to the Columbus Board of REALTORS® MLS (multiple listing service.) This graph is just single family homes.  A graph for Riverlea condos would be even more useless... but there is a condo on the market in Riverlea... or two? Trendgraphix made changes recently because of changes in the Columbus Board of REALTORS MLS and for now the graph I was able to pull says it is "Riverlea Twp"  There is no Riverlea Township in Cen... 03/13/2011

In my mind Riverlea has four sides.  Three sides touch Worthington and the westside is of course the Olentangy River.  I made this map so it may not even be totally accurate but Riverlea is no rectangle.  View Riverlea Outline in a larger map   Riverlea is a village in Franklin County Ohio.  Riverlea is totally residential. Riverlea is pronounced River - lee Is Riverlea walkable? Worthington and Riverlea crossing the border Riverlea is not a Worthington Neighborhood Yet 02/15/2011

Riverlea a tradition of confusion People think Riverlea is a lovely Worthington neighborhood.  Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood yet. Riverlea is seeking annexation into the City of Worthington.   Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood yet. I'd missed reading Dispatch Politics article about the possibility of Riverlea being annexed to Worthington.   People are quoted as not realizing Riverlea was NOT Worthington.  In  Time to Join the Fold by Mark Ferenchik. Ferenchik quotes Riverlea residents in December 2010: "I thought it was Worthington." Three people who bought homes in Riverlea, a sleepy village hugging the Olentangy River, all said something to that effect last week when asked what brought them to the community." The Village of Riverlea was established in 1939, much ... 02/11/2011

Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood yet... In 'Riverlea a step closer to being annexed by Worthington', Dean Narciso of the Columbus Dispatch writes of the steps in the annexation process the village will go through.  Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood It's hard sometimes to remember that Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood.  Riverlea is a separate village on the Olentangy River surrounded by Worthington on three sides... kinda sorta.  Riverlea is not quite rectangular.  Until recently our MLS area (the Columbus Board of REALTORS multiple listing service ) had an area which was City of Worthington and the Village of Riverlea.  MLS areas were done away with recently.  Riverlea was lumped in with the City of Worthington while other areas in the Worthington City Schoo... 02/09/2011

Crossing the border between Worthington and Riverlea - illegally it seems in some cases. Last week the  Columbus Dispatch covered an issue with people crossing illegally (cutting through yards) to get to Worthington from Riverlea.  The two Columbus Dispatch articles by reporter Dean Narciso say it's been an issue for 20 years at least.  Columbus Dispatch December 14, 2009 - "Cut off at the pass between Riverlea and Worthington" Columbus Dispatch December 17, 2009 -  "Neighbors seek solution for Riverlea cut-through spat" Did I mention the articles are written by Dean Narciso?  My favorite Columbus Dispatch reporter? Not from around these parts?  Riverlea and Worthington are two separate communities.  Riverlea is surrounded by Worthington on three sides and the Olentangy River on it's fo... 12/21/2009

View Larger Map Walk Score I always feel bad when I look at Riverlea on the Walk Score website because I sold a house to a couple who are walkers a few years back....  I met them at an open house in Old Worthington and we talked about neighborhoods.  I suggested Riverlea.  Leaving my open house I drove through Riverlea and saw them walking. I talked to them on the phone a few days later and they said they did not like Riverlea.  Yet when it came time to look they looked at homes in  Worthington, Clintonville and Riverlea.  To make a long story short she came to town in the summer and fell in love with a Riverlea home very close to the Olentany River.  The closer you get to the river the longer the walk up to High Street.. or would you meander north along the Olentangy Blvd. and then  th... 06/02/2009

Usually. Most people pronounce Riverlea, River-lee but occasionally you hear someone pronounce it "River-lee -a."   I went to a function on the Worthington Green once and a Riverlea resident and dignitary at the event pronounced his village's name as River-lee-a. Riverlea is a village in Central Ohio... Riverlea is an enclave....  I think.  I learned the word enclave from Wikipedia, an enclave is surrounded by another city.  Riverlea is surrounded on three sides by the City of Worthington... the west side is on the Olentangy River.  The village's website says Riverlea is a non- charter village. Their website gives these directions for finding them: "Riverlea is located North of Columbus and South of Downtown Worthington. The only roads into Riverlea are Southington Avenue and Riverglen ... 03/04/2009
