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.

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.

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 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

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.
