A bedroom community for Cleveland workers
The northeast Ohio city of Ashland is just off Interstate 71, about 60 miles southwest of Cleveland. “There are opportunities to work locally, but Ashland is attractive as a bedroom community for those who work in Cleveland,” says Peter Haring, the president of Haring Realty Company. “People are attracted to the housing opportunities here, and there are lots of people who live here who work remotely.” The city is home to Ashland University, a four-year school that is a large area employer. Other opportunities in the town of about 19,000 is Charles River Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company with over 1,500 employees and Pentair, a water-softening equipment supplier.
Ashland offers residents many housing options, including modern brick homes on large lots.
Condos are an affordable housing option in Ashland and many cater to students of the University of Ashland.

Transformed downtown Ashland
A major shake-up has happened in downtown Ashland within the past five years. “Businesses have opened, and it’s been transformed,” Haring says. “If someone left five years and returned, it’s almost unrecognizable.” Everything from boutiques to antiques, along with breweries and restaurants, is located on Main Street. About 2 miles to the east are grocery stores and large chain retailers close to Interstate 71.
Downtown Ashland has seen many revitalization efforts over the last decade, including building preservation and new construction.
