Delaware, Ohio · Delaware County · Epcon
The Courtyards at Clear Creek
A smaller Epcon community in Delaware with the signature single-level courtyard homes — quieter and more intimate than the flagship Courtyards, in Ohio’s highest-tax county.
The profile
The Courtyards at Clear Creek is one of Epcon’s Delaware-area communities, offering the same luxury single-level ranch homes and private garden courtyards that define the Courtyards brand, in a smaller, quieter setting. Delaware itself is consistently among Central Ohio’s most desirable 55+ destinations — a genuine historic downtown, walkable streets, and access to Grady Memorial Hospital, with downtown Columbus about 30 minutes south.
Delaware County tax applies here too. Like every community in the county, Clear Creek carries Ohio’s highest-in-state county tax rate — meaningfully above Franklin County. On a $430k home that is roughly $57/month more than the same-priced Franklin County home. The Delaware charm is real; the county tax is the recurring cost of it.
Cost expectations
| Monthly component | Estimate (~$430k home) |
|---|---|
| Property tax (Delaware County, ≈1.85% effective) | ~$663 |
| Epcon HOA | ~$225–$285 |
| Homeowners insurance | ~$110–$150 |
| All-in, excl. mortgage & utilities | ~$998–$1,098/mo |
Who it suits
Clear Creek is for the buyer who wants the Epcon product and the appeal of Delaware in a smaller, quieter community than the larger Courtyards neighborhoods. It pairs naturally with a look at Price Farms and Woodside at Holton Run — all three are Delaware-area options with different new-vs-finished and size trade-offs. Budget for the Delaware County tax rate, confirm the HOA and reserve health, and it is a solid quieter choice in a sought-after small city.
