Homes for Rent in Arcanum, OH

Arcanum is a small Darke County village that offers country charm within a short drive of metropolitan amenities in Dayton. With a population of about 2,500 residents, the agricultural community attracts commuters and folks with family ties to the area. “It’s a nice bedroom community because a lot of people in our area go to work in Richmond (Indiana), Dayton or Miami County, and Arcanum is the place you come back home to when you’re done working for the day,” says Doug Long, a lifelong Darke County resident and owner of Doug Long Real Estate. The housing market is primarily composed of 1900s-era homes in various styles, including bungalow, foursquare, Colonial Revival, National and ranch-style. Arcanum has a median single-family price of $200,000, which is on par with Greenville’s median. “I’d say it’s a good market right now in the Arcanum area,” Long says. “Prices might be a little bit cheaper than Dayton or the Mercer County and Miami County area, but there’s every kind of price range. You’ve got new subdivisions and older housing in good condition for the most part. If it’s priced right, it’ll sell.” Arcanum-Butler Local Schools District serves roughly 1,000 students and
