New Epcon ranch along the Riverside/Scioto corridor
Established resale-only; the affordable door into Dublin
Gated Epcon, ~55 homes, wooded Dublin-area setting
Dublin’s hidden advantage: it’s in Franklin County. Unlike Powell and Lewis Center, Dublin sits in Franklin County, so it carries the lower ~1.69% effective rate, not Delaware County’s ~1.9%. You pay the Dublin premium on the purchase price — homes here cost more — but you avoid the higher tax rate. For prestige-minded buyers, that makes Dublin the more tax-efficient way to get a marquee address than Powell.
