Intro:
Drive through Lewis Center’s Evans Farm and you’ll feel something different. The wide front porches, the walkable streets, and that unmistakable “new urbanist” charm — this isn’t just another subdivision; it’s a full-scale lifestyle experiment that actually works. Designed to blend nostalgic architecture with modern living, Evans Farm has become one of Central Ohio’s most talked-about communities — and for good reason.
1. The Vision Behind Evans Farm
Evans Farm isn’t a typical neighborhood built around cul-de-sacs and garages. It’s built around people. Every street, park, and path was intentionally designed to bring neighbors together — think old-school community with a 2025-level build quality. Sidewalks connect homes to green spaces, coffee spots, and playgrounds. You can literally wave to your neighbor from your front porch and mean it.
The design philosophy here borrows from “new urbanism,” where front porches replace fences and garages hide out back — making streets feel human again. It’s not just good planning; it’s what makes Evans Farm feel alive.
2. Where Evans Farm Sits — and Why Location Matters
You’re in Lewis Center, technically, but this community pulls energy from everywhere — Powell, Delaware, Westerville, and Dublin are all minutes away. Evans Farm feeds into the highly rated Olentangy Local School District, and it’s a quick drive to Polaris Fashion Place, Alum Creek State Park, and Route 23 for easy commuting.
Location-wise, it’s the rare trifecta: great schools, new construction, and true walkability — something most Columbus suburbs can only talk about.
3. Everyday Life in Evans Farm
Life here moves at a slightly slower, more intentional pace. Homeowners gather for food truck nights, bike rides to the park, and summer movie events. Sidewalks and alleys keep cars out of sight and people in focus.
Inside the homes, builders have leaned into modern craftsman, farmhouse, and transitional styles — open-concept layouts, big kitchens, and massive windows. Think of it as classic charm, upgraded for today’s living.
4. Meet the Builders Who Define Evans Farm
Evans Farm wouldn’t be what it is without its elite lineup of custom and semi-custom builders:
