Homes for Rent in Devola, OH

Spacious green lawns and roomy homes are the ingredients that make Devola a draw for people in search of a peaceful place to live in Washington County. This section of southeast Ohio is mostly residential, a departure from the busier Marietta, the county’s largest city. Yet Marietta’s amenities are within a 10-mile drive. The combination of peace and access contributes to Devola’s notoriety in this area. “It’s definitely desirable,” says Tony Burdette, a local Realtor at Century 21 Full Service Realty with over 10 years of industry experience. “People ask for it by name.” Devola’s narrow neighborhood streets feature a mixture of ranch- and Colonial-style homes. The majority were built from 1950 to 1980, and owners have handled them with care over the years. “The houses are maintained well, the lawns are maintained well,” Burdette says. “It’s their little slice of heaven.” Homes average about 1,800 square feet, and come with space to breathe on lots stretching at least one-fifth of an acre. “There are parts of Devola that seem more rural than where you really are,” Burdette says. Most homes sell for $170,000 to $500,000, and Burdette says properties hold their value. Kids living
