#2 Best Suburbs to Live in Columbus AreaPowellSuburb of Columbus, OH·Rating 4.24 out of 5 66 reviewsCurrent Resident: People joke about Powell being a "bubble", but after moving away to go to school I have realized the truth of it. Powell has everything you need within ten minutes of your house, but better than that it is a community. People in the Powell community are some of the most welcoming and caring people in terms of a community. I have been able to make myself a role model and trusted person within my community and I believe that has helped me network and realize my passion for helping others. The one thing about Powell that is negative is that the community is built around parents and younger children. Teens do not have a lot of options in terms of things to do or places to be. I feel as though this causes some delinquency....
