Gahanna Wins Again

Have you heard the news? Gahanna has once again been recognized by Realtor.com as the #1 Hottest Zip Code in the U.S. for 2024!

According to Realtor.com, properties available in the 43230 zip code attracted more than four times as many views per listing from January to June 2024 than homes in any other zip code across the country, when compared to the U.S. median. Realtor.com compiled the list by analyzing the number of views each home listing received and the speed at which homes were sold.  The company first named Gahanna as the “#1 Hottest Zip Code” in 2023, and this year’s recognition marks the first time in the history of the list that a city has received the #1 ranking in consecutive years.

This unique honor reaffirms the desirability of our charming city, and it’s no surprise as to why Gahanna is a sought-after area in which to live — our diverse and affordable housing options, strong schools, high caliber amenities, quality job opportunities, and a perfect blend of suburban peace and urban excitement.  As we celebrate this special recognition for our city, we will keep working hard to be the community that people love – and want – to call home.
