Cedarville, OH Homes for Rent

Cedarville, Ohio is a small, walkable community centered around Cedarville University, which shapes much of daily life and local culture. The university is a Bible college, and the area is known for its religious character and dry-town status, with Mom & Dad's Dairy Bar and Grill serving as the closest thing to a pub, focused on burgers, milkshakes and more than 50 ice cream flavors. Housing includes ranch and farmhouse styles, cottages, Colonial Revivals and custom homes in The Meadows of Cedarville that mix Craftsman and farmhouse elements. Many homes are older, some dating back to 1900, with grid-style, tree-lined streets near town and larger properties on multiple acres at the edges. There is ongoing tension between demand for new construction and efforts to preserve farmland through land trusts. Cedar Cliff Local School District serves the area, and Cedarville Elementary School is highly rated, while the middle and high schools share a campus and offer programs like SolidWorks engineering certifications. Main Street is home to things to do such as Colonial Pizza, Beans-n-Cream, Rinnova Coffee and local shops like The Village Petaler, with Cedarville Village Market as the only grocery store and larger chains in nearby Xenia, less than 10 miles away. Outdoor recreation includes Cedarville Community Park, Massie Creek Soccer Park, the Ohio to Erie Trail, Indian Mound Reserve and public facilities on the university campus, plus community events at Cedarville Opera House and annual Cedar Fest.
