Trotters Chase
An established resale-only community in Dublin — one of the few genuinely affordable ways into the coveted Dublin area without the new-construction price tag. Here is the real picture.
The profile
Trotters Chase is an established, resale-only active-adult community in Dublin. Its appeal is squarely about access: Dublin is one of the most desirable and expensive suburbs in the metro, and the new Courtyards communities there start in the mid $400ks. Trotters Chase, as an older established community, opens the Dublin area to buyers working with a mid-$200k budget — a rare combination of the Dublin address and an affordable entry price.
Affordable + established + resale-only = three things to verify. The low price often reflects older homes that may need updating — budget for it. Resale-only means limited inventory and timing you do not fully control. And an older community’s association needs scrutiny: request the reserve study and special-assessment history before you buy. The Dublin location and Franklin County tax rate are the genuine upside.
Cost expectations
| Monthly component | Estimate (~$280k home) |
|---|---|
| Property tax (Franklin County, ≈1.69% effective) | ~$394 |
| Association fee | ~$250–$350 |
| Homeowners insurance | ~$80–$120 |
| All-in, excl. mortgage & utilities | ~$724–$864/mo |
Who it suits
Trotters Chase is for the budget-conscious buyer who wants the Dublin area specifically — the location, the school district’s halo on resale, the established suburb — without the new Courtyards price. Comparable in spirit to the Villas of Gahanna and Village at North Falls as an affordable established option, but with the Dublin name. Budget for updates, confirm the association’s finances, and it is one of the few affordable doors into Dublin.
