A LANDMARK, REIMAGINED.

Built around the restored 1863 Flax Mill, The Mill on Flax brings a piece of Delaware history into modern apartment living. Original character and thoughtful design create a community that feels anything but ordinary.

Steps from the Olentangy River and downtown Delaware, you’re close to local restaurants, shops, trails, and everyday conveniences. Inside, modern finishes, oversized windows, spacious balconies, and inviting amenities give you more to enjoy without leaving home.

It’s the best of both worlds—a home with character, a location that keeps you connected, and a lifestyle that feels distinctly The Mill on Flax.
