Apartments in Hilliard, Ohio: minutes from Tuttle Crossing, Dublin, and I-270
The Pointe Hilliard sits off Britton Parkway between Davidson Road and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard, inside the employment corridor most Northwest Columbus renters drive to every morning.
Inside the Britton Parkway corridor, not commuting to it
The Pointe Hilliard is located at 4890 Edwards Farms Road, off Britton Parkway between Davidson Road and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard on Hilliard's north side. That places the community inside the Britton Parkway and Tuttle Crossing office corridor rather than a drive away from it: the Mount Carmel Hilliard outpatient campus at Davidson Road and Britton Parkway is under a mile, the 5550 Britton Parkway office building is roughly the same distance, and the I-270 interchange at Tuttle Crossing Boulevard is about three minutes north. Micro Center's corporate headquarters on Leap Road, the Britton Flex industrial and office development east of Britton Parkway, and the Mall at Tuttle Crossing retail district all sit within a five-minute drive. For renters choosing an apartment by where they work, this is one of the shortest commutes available in Hilliard.
The employment base around this address is broad rather than dependent on any single company. Hilliard's largest employers include Micro Center, which is headquartered in the city, along with operations for Verizon, Sedgwick, Armstrong World Industries, Amazon Web Services, and Eco Plumbers, which anchors the 158,000-square-foot Britton Flex building just east of Britton Parkway. Immediately north, Dublin adds Cardinal Health's Cardinal Place campus and the Frantz Road and Emerald Parkway office corridor. Southeast, I-270 and I-70 connect to Downtown Columbus, the Arena District, and The Ohio State University campus. Columbus continues to add residents faster than the national average, with the metro growing by more than 21,000 people in 2025, roughly double the national rate, and that growth has concentrated demand along exactly this kind of highway-adjacent suburban corridor.
In practice, a weekday here is short on windshield time. Coffee on Cemetery Road at Nagy's Bakery or Watan Cafe & Roastery is about five minutes south. A commute to an office on Britton Parkway or Tuttle Crossing Boulevard is under ten minutes without touching a freeway, and a commute Downtown is roughly twenty on I-270 to I-70 East. Groceries at the Kroger on Cemetery Road, hardware and dining at Mill Run, and the Mall at Tuttle Crossing are all inside a five-minute radius. Evenings and weekends pull west instead: Old Hilliard's Main Street and Center Street district, with Crooked Can Brewing, Starliner Diner, Hillgarten Beer & Wine Garden, and Hilliard's Station Park, is about eight minutes by car, and Homestead Metro Park and the Heritage Rail-Trail sit just beyond it.
Drive times are approximate, measured from 4890 Edwards Farms Road, and will vary with traffic and time of day.
Where residents here actually drive every morning
The stretch of Britton Parkway between Davidson Road and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard is Hilliard's densest concentration of daytime employment. It includes the 220,000-square-foot office building at 5550 Britton Parkway, the Mount Carmel Hilliard outpatient campus, and the Britton Flex development east of the parkway, a $29 million, 158,000-square-foot building anchored by Eco Plumbers, Electricians, and HVAC Technicians with roughly 100,000 square feet of additional space. Micro Center's corporate headquarters sits just south on Leap Road. The corridor draws accounting, claims, IT, clinical, skilled trades, logistics, and corporate support roles rather than a single industry.
From The Pointe Hilliard, most of this corridor is a five-minute drive on Britton Parkway with no freeway segment at all. Renters commuting to the same offices from Grove City, Westerville, or the far east side spend twenty to forty minutes on I-270 in each direction and absorb the outerbelt's morning backups at Tuttle Crossing and Roberts Road. Living inside the corridor removes that variable entirely: the commute is the same length on a snowy Tuesday as it is in July.
Mount Carmel Hilliard is a 60,000-square-foot stand-alone campus at Davidson Road and Britton Parkway offering primary care, specialty physicians, lab services, imaging, and cardiac and vascular testing. OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital, at 7500 Hospital Drive in Dublin, adds a full-service hospital and emergency department roughly ten to twelve minutes north. Between them, the two campuses employ physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, technologists, and support staff working rotating and overnight schedules.
For anyone working either campus, the appeal of this address is the length and predictability of the drive. Mount Carmel Hilliard is three minutes on Britton Parkway. Dublin Methodist is about twelve minutes via I-270 North to the Tuttle Crossing or Post Road exits. Neither commute requires crossing the Scioto River or entering the SR-315 corridor, which is the difference between a reliable shift change and a stressful one when you are due on the floor at 6:45 AM.
Dublin holds one of Central Ohio's largest suburban office concentrations. Cardinal Health's headquarters campus at 7000 Cardinal Place anchors it, joined by the Frantz Road and Emerald Parkway office corridor and, more recently, the Bridge Park mixed-use district along the Scioto. The roles here skew toward healthcare distribution and services, technology, finance, and professional services, and the district keeps growing as older office space is repositioned toward mixed-use.
From The Pointe Hilliard, Cardinal Place is about twelve minutes straight up I-270 North to the Tuttle Crossing or Rings Road exits, or on surface streets via Britton Parkway and Emerald Parkway when the outerbelt is heavy. That is meaningfully shorter than the same commute from Grove City, Reynoldsburg, or Gahanna, and it comes without Dublin's rent premium. Renters who work in Dublin but do not want to pay Bridge Park pricing consistently land in this part of Hilliard for that reason.
Ohio State is the largest single employer in Central Ohio, combining the academic campus with the Wexner Medical Center's hospitals and clinics along West 10th Avenue and the research and support operations on West Campus. Staff, faculty, researchers, residents, and clinical employees commute in from every direction, and West Campus is the closest edge of it to Hilliard.
From The Pointe Hilliard the trip is roughly twenty minutes: I-270 South to SR-315 South, exiting at Ackerman or Lane Avenue depending on your building. Because the approach comes from the northwest, the drive avoids the I-71 and I-70 downtown split entirely. Residents commuting to Ohio State from the east or south side routinely spend thirty-five minutes or more covering a similar distance because of that interchange.
Downtown Columbus concentrates the region's insurance, banking, legal, and state government employment, with Nationwide's headquarters at 1 West Nationwide Boulevard anchoring the Arena District and the Statehouse and state agency offices filling the blocks to the south. Continued investment on the Scioto Peninsula keeps adding office and mixed-use space on the west edge of the core, which is the side closest to Hilliard.
From The Pointe Hilliard, Downtown is about twenty minutes: I-270 South to I-70 East, exiting at Fourth Street or Front Street. The inbound approach from the west arrives at the Peninsula and Arena District first, so residents working on that side of Downtown skip the interchange congestion that shapes commutes from the north and east. For anyone splitting time between a Downtown office and remote days, the tradeoff works in both directions: a manageable drive when you go in, and a full apartment with a private garage when you do not.
The Pointe Hilliard participates in a preferred employer program that has included Nationwide, OhioHealth, The Ohio State University, and first responders, with waived application and administrative fees for qualifying applicants. Participating employers and current terms can change, so contact the leasing office to confirm whether your employer is on the current list before you apply.
The amenities that make the commute worth it

Renting in Hilliard: what to expect
Hilliard's apartment market has held up better than the Columbus metro overall. The average apartment rent in Hilliard is roughly $1,447, up about 2.35% year over year, against a metro-wide average asking rent near $1,400 where annual rent growth has slowed to under 1%. By bedroom count, Hilliard averages land near $1,221 for a one-bedroom at about 709 square feet, $1,494 for a two-bedroom at about 1,025 square feet, and $2,010 for a three-bedroom at about 1,272 square feet. Metro-wide, Columbus has absorbed record apartment deliveries for four consecutive years, which has pushed vacancy above 10% and made concessions common across every class of product. Suburban submarkets like Hilliard have stayed tighter than the Downtown and University submarkets, where most of that new supply landed.

What separates The Pointe Hilliard within that market is the combination of 2016 construction, floor plan range, and attached garages at a Hilliard price point rather than a Dublin or Bridge Park one. Roughly 62% of Hilliard's rental inventory is two-bedroom and studios are under 1% of the market, so the studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes here cover a wider range of household sizes than most communities in the submarket. Newer Class A product in Dublin and Northwest Columbus typically carries a meaningful premium for a comparable finish level, and older Hilliard communities generally lack the garage, in-home laundry, and amenity package. For renters comparing options along the Britton Parkway corridor, that mix of newer construction, larger layouts, and private garage parking is the differentiator. Compare current floor plans and pricing to see where your layout lands.
Renting in Hilliard, answered
What is the average rent for apartments in Hilliard, Ohio?
The average apartment rent in Hilliard is approximately $1,447 per month, an increase of about 2.35% over the previous year, according to RentCafe and Yardi Matrix market data. Broken out by size, one-bedroom apartments average near $1,221 at roughly 709 square feet, two-bedrooms near $1,494 at roughly 1,025 square feet, and three-bedrooms near $2,010 at roughly 1,272 square feet. Rents at the higher end of those ranges generally reflect newer construction, in-home washers and dryers, upgraded interior finishes, and garage parking, while the lower end tends to be older buildings without those features. The Pointe Hilliard was built in 2016 and includes stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, in-home laundry, vaulted ceilings, and attached garages on select homes. Because pricing moves with availability and lease term, current rates are published on the floor plans page.
Are there apartments near the Britton Parkway and Tuttle Crossing office corridor?
Yes. The Pointe Hilliard is located at 4890 Edwards Farms Road, off Britton Parkway between Davidson Road and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard, which puts it inside the corridor rather than commuting into it. Most Britton Parkway offices, including the building at 5550 Britton Parkway and the Britton Flex development, are roughly a five-minute drive with no freeway segment. The Mount Carmel Hilliard outpatient campus at Davidson Road and Britton Parkway is about three minutes away, and the Mall at Tuttle Crossing retail district is about five. The I-270 on-ramp at Tuttle Crossing Boulevard is three minutes north, which extends the same convenience to Dublin, Downtown Columbus, and the Ohio State campus. For a corridor commute, few Hilliard communities sit closer.
How far is The Pointe Hilliard from Downtown Columbus?
Downtown Columbus is approximately 20 minutes by car, taking I-270 South to I-70 East and exiting at Front Street or Fourth Street depending on your destination. That route arrives at the Scioto Peninsula and Arena District first, which is the western edge of Downtown and where Nationwide's headquarters on Nationwide Boulevard sits. Off-peak the drive runs closer to 17 minutes, and a heavy weekday morning can push it past 25, so plan on the higher figure if you have an 8 AM start. The Ohio State University campus and Wexner Medical Center are a comparable 20 minutes via I-270 to SR-315 South. COTA operates bus service through Hilliard along the Cemetery Road and Hilliard-Rome Road corridors, though most residents at this address commute by car.
Is Hilliard, Ohio walkable?
No, and it is worth being direct about that. Hilliard carries a citywide Walk Score of 23, and the Mill Run and Britton Parkway areas score in the low 30s, which Walk Score classifies as car-dependent. Most errands from this address require a vehicle: groceries at the Kroger on Cemetery Road, the Mill Run retail center, and the Mall at Tuttle Crossing are each about a five-minute drive rather than a walk. What the location offers instead is short drives to nearly everything, which is the practical tradeoff most Northwest Columbus renters are making. Walkable recreation does exist nearby by car, including the Heritage Rail-Trail, Homestead Metro Park, and the Main Street and Center Street district in Old Hilliard, all about eight to nine minutes away.
What is it like to live in Hilliard, Ohio?
Hilliard is a suburb of roughly 37,000 people in Franklin County, sitting between Big Darby Creek and the Scioto River just west of I-270. Physically it splits into two distinct areas: the newer commercial and employment development along Britton Parkway, Cemetery Road, and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard on the east side near the outerbelt, and the older Main Street and Center Street district on the west, where Hilliard's Station Park, Crooked Can Brewing, Starliner Diner, and the Franklin County Fairgrounds are clustered around the original 1852 railroad station site. Development is predominantly low-rise, with most apartment communities built as three-story garden-style buildings rather than mid-rise or high-rise. Day to day, that means short drives instead of long walks, structured park and trail space rather than dense street life, and quick outerbelt access to the rest of the metro. It suits people who want a short commute and a full-size apartment more than people who want to live without a car.
Do apartments in Hilliard, Ohio have attached garages?
Attached garages are relatively uncommon in the Hilliard apartment market, where most inventory is three-story garden-style construction with surface parking. The Pointe Hilliard offers attached garages on select apartment homes and townhomes, which changes the daily routine in ways surface parking does not: no clearing snow off the windshield in January, no walking groceries across a lot, no hunting for a space after a late shift, and enough space to store bikes and gear without renting a separate unit. Homes also include in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, and private balconies or patios. Availability of garage homes changes with the schedule of upcoming move-outs, so check the floor plans page or ask the leasing team what is coming available in your window.
