Orient pairs small-town ease with quick access to big-city opportunity. Residents enjoy a country setting with connections to major employers and universities in Columbus and everyday conveniences in Grove City. Set within Pickaway County, the area blends farmsteads and newer homes, offering wide skies, quiet roads, and room to grow.
Outdoorsy weekends are easy to plan. See roaming bison and miles of prairie trails at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, part of the regional Metro Parks system, via the official page for Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. Paddle, fish, or birdwatch along the protected Big Darby Creek Scenic River, or head to the beach, marina, and golf course at Deer Creek State Park. From late spring through summer, the Grove City Farmers’ Market draws locals for produce, baked goods, and live music. Come fall, downtown Circleville celebrates with the storied Circleville Pumpkin Show, a regional tradition for over a century.
Families are served by the well-regarded Teays Valley Local School District, known for strong academics, arts, and athletics, while the Pickaway County Park District offers youth programs and nature camps close to home. Whether you’re seeking acreage, a starter home, or a quieter commute, Orient delivers value and breathing room with amenities just minutes away.
