Little Turtle Condos greet you with towering oaks and majestic evergreens.  Encompassed by The Turtle Club Golf Course landscaping, it's residents are virtually surrounded with a serene and natural environment.

The architectural design endeavors to portray a sense of uniqueness and variation to the line of each building to avoid the regimentation of  the common features.   Decks and balconies are in abundance, and give ample opportunity to interact with the natural beauty which abounds.

The tri-level contemporary design is complemented by the natural cedar sided exteriors, and interior living environments range from traditional to modern.  Golf course, ravine and pond views are juxtaposed to clearly lend to the rustic atmosphere.  Located in a prime Westerville location immediately adjacent to New Albany, Little Turtle enjoys all the advantages of suburban Columbus living.
