The Courtyards at Price Farms
A small, finished, 65-home Epcon community next to Scioto Reserve Country Club. No construction, no waiting — but no new inventory either. Here is the real picture.
The community
Price Farms is a compact, completed Epcon community of 65 freestanding courtyard homes, built between 2017 and 2019 in Delaware, Ohio. With six floor plans, ponds, and natural space, it has the intimate feel of a finished neighborhood rather than an active build site — the homes are in, the landscaping is mature, and the clubhouse, fitness center, and pool are established. The neighborhood sits right next to Scioto Reserve Country Club, putting golf at the doorstep, with Muirfield Village and Wedgewood golf also nearby.
Delaware itself has become one of the most sought-after destinations for 55+ buyers in Central Ohio, with a genuine historic downtown, walkable streets, and easy access to Grady Memorial Hospital. Downtown Columbus is about 30 minutes south.
Resale-only changes your strategy. With just 65 homes and no new construction, inventory is thin — sometimes nothing is for sale for months. You buy when a home comes available, not when you decide to. The upside: you are buying a known, finished product with mature landscaping and an established association, not a phased promise. The downside: limited choice and timing you do not fully control.
The real cost math
Price Farms is in Delaware County, where the effective rate runs higher than Franklin County’s. Representative all-in monthly estimate for a resale home in the mid $400ks:
| Monthly component | Estimate (~$430k home) |
|---|---|
| Property tax (Delaware County, ≈1.85% effective) | ~$663 |
| Epcon HOA | ~$230–$280 |
| Homeowners insurance | ~$110–$150 |
| All-in, excl. mortgage & utilities | ~$1,003–$1,093/mo |
The honest take
Price Farms suits the buyer who wants a finished, settled, intimate community — no construction dust, no phased amenities, mature trees — and values golf-course proximity and the charm of downtown Delaware. At 65 homes it is genuinely small and quiet, which is exactly what some buyers want after a lifetime in busier neighborhoods.
The honest cautions: resale-only means you may wait for the right home to list, and you give up the ability to customize a new build. Delaware County’s tax rate applies here as it does across the county. And a 65-home community has a small association budget — ask about reserves and any upcoming special assessments, since fewer homes share any big-ticket repairs.
