Market and Main – A Decision Review for 2026–2027 Rentals
Market and Main is a mid-to-high-end apartment community located at New Albany, OH 43054, USA, in the city of Bexley. It offers 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units, along with general apartment-style layouts. The monthly price range runs from $1,250 to $6,526 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property is pet-friendly and provides laundry facilities on site. Minimum lease term is 6 months. There are no on-site universities listed in the provided data. With a Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 136 reviews, resident feedback consistently highlights the quality of facilities and staff responsiveness.
Because this is a standalone private-market rental (not a purpose-built student accommodation), the property appeals primarily to working professionals, families, or long-term residents relocating to the Columbus / New Albany area. Below we examine who this residence suits, what actual residents say, how pricing compares to the broader Bexley market, room-type considerations, and practical booking timing for 2026–2027.
Who Market and Main suits / does not suit
Suits:
- Residents who prioritise well-maintained, clean, and up-to-date living spaces. All three resident reviews quoted below mention the “great”, “luxurious and up to date”, or “well maintained” quality of the apartments.
- Long-term tenants. One reviewer reports living at Market & Main for nearly five years, which suggests that the property management supports extended stays and that residents remain satisfied over time.
- People with pets. The “Pet Friendly” tag is clearly listed, making it viable for cat or dog owners who need a place that accommodates animals without excessive restrictions.
- Those requiring flexible lease terms down to 6 months. The minimum lease of 6 months offers more flexibility than a standard 12-month contract, useful for a temporary work assignment or transitional housing.
- People who value responsive, friendly staff. Multiple reviews specifically name administration and maintenance personnel, praising their helpfulness and professionalism.
Does not suit:
- Budget-conscious renters. The city-level from-price in Bexley is $695 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Market and Main starts at $1,250, so it sits well above the local entry point. If you need the cheapest possible unit in Bexley, this property is not the right fit.
- Students without a work income. No universities are listed within this property’s data, and the price range is not aligned with typical student budgets. While some graduate students on assistantships may afford a 1-bedroom, most undergraduates should look elsewhere.
- Ultra-short stays (less than 6 months). Unless you negotiate directly with the operator, the minimum lease is half a year. If you only need 2–4 months, you will likely need a different rental type.
- People who prefer a fully included bill structure. The data does not mention whether utilities, internet, or parking are included. Residents should confirm all additional costs before signing.

Price positioning vs the Bexley from-price
The Bexley market (as represented in the provided data) has a minimum price of $695 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This low-end figure likely represents a studio or a very small 1-bedroom unit in an older or less amenitised building.
Market and Main’s starting price of $1,250 is roughly 80% higher than the city’s from-price. The top end ($6,526) suggests that the property offers large, premium floor plans — possibly multi-level townhouse-style units or executive 3-bedroom apartments with high-end finishes.
This positions Market and Main as a mid-to-upscale option within Bexley. It is not the cheapest place to live, but it clearly delivers higher perceived value according to resident ratings. If your budget is flexible and you prioritise service, cleanliness, and pet accommodation, the premium may be justified. If your monthly rent ceiling is below $1,000, you will need to look elsewhere in the market.
The 4.8 rating from 136 Google reviews further supports that residents feel they receive good value for the price paid.
Room-type guidance
Market and Main offers four unit categories: 1b, 2b, 3b, and “apartment”. Based on typical convention, “1b” means one bedroom, “2b” two bedrooms, “3b” three bedrooms. The “apartment” category could refer to a studio or a versatile layout without a separate bedroom — confirm with the operator.
- 1-bedroom – Likely the cheapest entry point within the $1,250–$6,526 range. Suitable for a single professional or a couple. Pet-friendly.
- 2-bedroom – Good for roommates, a couple with a home office, or a small family. Expect mid-range monthly pricing.
- 3-bedroom – The most expensive units, probably spanning the upper end of the price range. Suitable for larger families or groups of working professionals sharing costs.
- Apartment (studio / open plan) – If this category exists, it may be the smallest and potentially lowest-priced option. Check availability.
Because the minimum lease is 6 months, you have some flexibility even if you only need a temporary home. However, longer leases (12 months or more) may offer more favourable monthly rates. Confirm with the operator whether lease-duration discounts apply.
Booking timing
The provided data does not list a specific “available from” date, so we cannot guarantee immediate move-in. For a 2026 or 2027 start date, follow these general guidelines:
- Contact at least 2–3 months before your desired move-in. Given the property’s high rating and limited number of units (exact count not provided), desirable floor plans may be reserved quickly.
- For a 6-month lease starting in June 2026, begin outreach in March 2026.
- If you need a 3-bedroom (the least common floor plan in most buildings), reach out even earlier — possibly 4–5 months ahead.
- The summer months (June–August) typically see higher demand in the Columbus metro area due to corporate relocations and summer internships. Plan accordingly and be prepared to sign a lease 30–60 days in advance.
No on-site availability system was given, but the property has an on-site leasing office (as evidenced by the named staff members). Direct outreach is the recommended approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are utilities included in the rent?
The provided data does not specify whether water, electricity, gas, or internet are included in the monthly price range. Some apartment communities include water and trash; others bill separately. You must confirm this detail directly with the operator before signing any agreement. Utility costs can significantly affect your total monthly housing spend.
Is parking available? Is there a fee?
Parking is not mentioned in the tags, reviews, or price breakdown. Many suburban Bexley and New Albany properties offer surface lot or garage parking, sometimes at an additional monthly cost. The reviews do not mention parking issues, which may indicate it is adequate. Check with the leasing team whether parking is included, assigned, or paid.
Can I break the lease early?
The minimum lease is 6 months. Neither the reviews nor the property tags discuss early termination options, fees, or subletting policies. Standard lease agreements often include a penalty (e.g., 1–2 months’ rent) for early move-out. Request a copy of the lease terms and specifically ask about buyout clauses before you commit.
