The City of Powell, encompassing approximately 4.8 square miles, is located on rolling highlands between the Scioto and Olentangy River valleys, approximately fourteen miles north of downtown Columbus, the capital of Ohio. The City is located near the intersection of scenic State Route 315 and State Route 750, with State Route 750 bisecting the City. Commercial passenger air service is available at Port Columbus International Airport, approximately 30 minutes away. The City’s strategic location in southern Delaware county has promoted its development as a semi-rural, suburban, greenbelt town. Residential developments, combined with open space preservation and minimized commercial and industrial development, has made Powell one of the premier residential communities within Central Ohio.

 A number of recreational areas are also located within commuting distance of the City, including the 8,600 Alum Creek State Park, the 1,050-acre Highbanks Metro Park, and the Columbus Zoo/Wyandot Lake complex consisting of a 20-acre amusement and water park and 100 acres of gardens and naturalistic habitats for over 6,000 animals.
