From midcentury to new construction
While there are many midcentury charmers in Ohio Township, there are even more properties that are newer, built between the late 1990s and 2020s. From simple, small ranch-style homes and bungalows to large Colonial Revivals and New Traditional tract houses, homebuyers have quite the assortment to peruse. Larger lots, typically around a half-acre, are the norm in Ohio Township, so there’s a good amount of green space between neighbors. That said, townhouses and other multi-family residences are the exceptions to this. Garages and driveways are also common features, meaning parking is rarely an issue along Ohio Townships’ sidewalk- and tree-lined streets. Overall list prices range from $305,000 to $1.1 million. The median cost of a single-family home is $499,950; this could afford a three-bedroom, three-bathroom property.
