The Courtyards at Harris Farm
A brand-new Epcon community opening in Grove City in 2026 — and one of the few offering ranch, townhome, and carriage home options under one association. Here is what early buyers should weigh.
The community
Harris Farm is one of Epcon’s newest Grove City communities, opening in phases through 2026. What makes it notable is the mix: in addition to the signature single-level luxury ranches, Harris Farm is slated to offer townhomes and carriage homes. That breadth is unusual — most Courtyards communities are ranch-only — and it widens the entry price point, giving buyers a lower-cost path into a new-construction Epcon community than the detached ranches alone.
The Grove City location is the same value story that makes The Courtyards at Mulberry Run attractive: an established southwest suburb with a real Town Center, strong parks, and Franklin County’s tax rate rather than Delaware County’s. For buyers who want new construction without the Powell/Delaware tax premium, Harris Farm is worth watching.
The early-buyer reality: Because Harris Farm is opening in 2026, there is no resale history, amenities arrive in phases, and you will live with construction for a few years. Epcon’s current incentives — including a price-protection guarantee that adjusts your contract down if base prices drop during your build — can favor early buyers, but confirm the exact terms in writing before relying on them.
The real cost math
Representative all-in monthly estimate for a Harris Farm home in the low $400ks, Franklin County / Grove City taxing district. A townhome or carriage home would land lower on both price and tax:
| Monthly component | Estimate (~$415k home) |
|---|---|
| Property tax (≈1.69% effective) | ~$584 |
| Epcon HOA | ~$225–$285 |
| Homeowners insurance | ~$110–$145 |
| All-in, excl. mortgage & utilities | ~$919–$1,014/mo |
The honest take
Harris Farm is a strong option for the buyer who wants new construction, a Franklin County tax rate, and flexibility on home type — the townhome and carriage options make it one of the more accessible new Epcon communities in the metro. Grove City’s established services and location are a genuine plus.
The honest cautions are the standard new-community ones: no resale track record yet, phased amenities, construction-zone living for the first years, and incentive terms that need to be verified rather than assumed. If you would rather move into a finished, settled community, an established Courtyards neighborhood or one of the Villas communities may suit you better today.
