A small city about 80 miles outside Columbus

Coshocton’s roughly 11,000 residents appreciate the community for its relatively affordable home prices and cozy small-town feel. “It’s a quiet, one-stoplight type of town, and it’s the first place I ever felt home,” says Christi Olinger, a Realtor with Olinger & Company Realty. “It’s small enough that you know everyone but large enough that they aren’t looking in your back windows.” Coshocton’s downtown provides modern shopping and dining conveniences. While many residents commute to Columbus or smaller neighboring cities, Coshocton has several employers, including a temp agency and a waterproofing membrane manufacturer.

Coshocton is home to over 11,000 residents.

The median single-family home price is $155,000, which is below the state and national median prices. Fixer-uppers are priced from the low $40,000s, and certain midcentury homes are priced as high as $260,000. There is a mix of bungalows, American Craftsman styles, American Foursquares and split-levels built from the late 19th century through the 1970s. Some of the city’s homes are threatened by flooding. The city passed a flood reduction plan over 15 years ago.

Dining on 2nd Street and Main Street

Fast-food franchises and local restaurants line 2nd Street and Main Street, which has a classic downtown feel with early 20th-century brick buildings and pedestrian-friendly streets. “Many of the founding families and businesses are revitalizing Main Street,” Olinger says. “Many of the dilapidated buildings have been bought and renovated, and now they are back in use.” The local options include a bakery, coffee shops, an old-fashioned pub and a Mexican spot. Main Street also has local businesses, such as a nail salon, a barbershop and a martial arts dojo. On 2nd Street’s south end is a local grocery store and an Aldi.

Coshocton residents can do their daily shopping at Aldi or at several other grocers in the city.

Camping and hunting in Woodbury Wildlife Area

One unique aspect of the city is Roscoe Village, a preserved section that was built in 1816. Visitors can step back into the city’s early history as they explore the old schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, mill, hotel, cooperage and stores. The Tuscarawas and Walhonding rivers intersect within the city. “A lot of people canoe and go tubing in the river,” Olinger says. There are two neighborhood parks with playgrounds, but the largest green space is Coshocton Lake Park, which has a pool, riverfront access and a campground. Outside the city, Woodbury Wildlife Area is a roughly 19,250-acre woodland where visitors can hike, camp, fish and hunt. “Whitetail deer hunting is a really popular activity here in the winter,” Olinger says.

The annual Coshocton County Fair

The city’s largest annual event is the Coshocton County Fair, which attracts roughly 25,000 people for a week of carnival games, rides, live music and fried food. The fairground also hosts other events, like a hot air balloon festival and an annual Fourth of July fireworks display. Each year, the downtown hosts a Christmas parade. The Coshocton County District Library has author talks, preschool story times, craft nights and book clubs. Northwest of Muskingum River, the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum has exhibits on Native American history, Victorian furniture and textiles, historic Ohio and Japanese and Chinese history.

Commuting to Zanesville and Columbus

Residents have access to Coshocton Regional Medical Center for healthcare. Coshocton does not have public transportation, but many residents can walk to businesses and parks. Commuters take Ohio State Route 16 about 32 miles south to Zanesville, where top employers include Cardinal Health, Halliburton and Merrill Lynch. The highway also takes residents 77 miles southwest to Columbus, which has an international airport. “People who commute also go over to Columbus and are involved in the Intel chip plant or Amazon,” Olinger says.

According to FBI data, the violent crime rate is below the state and national averages, and the property crime rate is above the state and national averages. Both rates have declined over the past five years.
