Personally, I would choose Worthington. Their schools are excellent, and you are close to everything. Fantastic parks too. The traffic is a little overwelming at times but I am sure orange barrels (Ohio's 5th weather season) will show up there soon. It is close to the Zoo and about 15 mins to all the downtown stuff.

I went to capital university which is in bexley. It's a very nice place. But worthington is in the middle of everything and there is a lot to do all around. I used to sub in the district and I loved it! Hope that helps!

I would also choose Worthington.
Bexley is kind of like a little island. It's a great neighborhood with good schools, but it's surrounded by some areas that are not so good. To get to anything like big shopping malls or movie theaters you have to leave the island. The good thing is that it is very close to downtown. If you work downtown the commute will be much easier.
Worthington is more spreadout and has more options for entertainment and shopping. It is surrounded by other great suburbs like Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Upper Arlington..., but in minutes you can be "out of town" and enjoying the country-side.
I lived in Worthington for many years, so I might be biased, but we have friends that live in Bexley. We could give them your email or phone number if you would like to talk to someone with personal experience of living in the area.

The house I fell in love with in Worthington at our visit in March just dropped another 15,000 in price!!!

Ugh..I wish this was all over. I hate being in limbo like this.

You'll love living in Worthington. One of us grew up there, and we still have strong ties. If you'd like, we can put you in touch with relatives who are also avid letter boxers. One of them works for the school system and could answer any questions you might have. We are also good friends with a terrific real estate agent, if that's helpful. Another good way to get some in depth info is by subscribing to the Worthington News- it's quite comprehensive. And the next time you are back there, try finding The Village Green series. It gives you a nice tour of the town's center, and a little history as well.
