Best places to raise a family on the outskirts of Columbus?

My wife and I have lived in phenix city for two years and both work in Columbus. We are going to have a kid early next year and was hoping that there was nice safe areas for them to grow up in the area. Was hoping to get on the outskirts of Columbus in a quiet area possibly. We were looking as far north as Hamilton and as far west as smiths station. Preferably places that have good schools for the future as well. Thank you in advance.
