The Courtyards on Riverside places Epcon’s single-level ranches in Dublin, along the Riverside Drive corridor that follows the Scioto River. Dublin is one of the most sought-after addresses in the metro — nationally known for its golf, its top-rated Dublin City Schools, its bridge-park riverfront district, and its affluent, well-maintained feel. For a 55+ buyer, the Dublin name carries strong resale demand.
The Dublin premium is in the price, not just the prestige. Dublin sits in Franklin County, so the tax rate is the standard ~1.69% — but Dublin home prices run higher than most suburbs, and property tax tracks value. The same Epcon floor plan costs more here than in Grove City or Westerville, which means a higher tax bill for the life of the home. You are paying the Dublin premium on the purchase price and on every tax bill that follows.
Cost expectations
| Monthly component | Estimate (~$500k home) |
|---|---|
| Property tax (Franklin County, ≈1.69% effective) | ~$705 |
| Epcon HOA | ~$235–$295 |
| Homeowners insurance | ~$125–$165 |
| All-in, excl. mortgage & utilities | ~$1,065–$1,165/mo |

Who it suits
Riverside is for the buyer who specifically wants Dublin — the prestige, the schools’ effect on resale, the bridge-park lifestyle — and has budgeted for Dublin-level home prices. The good news versus Powell: Dublin keeps you in Franklin County’s lower tax rate, so you avoid the Delaware County premium even at a higher price point. If the Dublin name is not essential, a Grove City or Hilliard Courtyards community delivers the same Epcon home for a lower purchase price and tax bill.
Want Dublin without overpaying?
We will run Riverside against a comparable lower-priced suburb so the Dublin premium is clear.
