Early 20th-century Craftsman homes, some that may need a little TLC
Early 20th-century structures in varying conditions line steep grassy hills, narrowly trimmed with uneven sidewalks. Classic Craftsman designs pack in tight alongside other architectural testaments to the town's local history – timeworn storefronts and century-old houses with an alluring patina await new owners looking for a peaceful place. You can invest in this cozy town for as low as $75,000, which buys a simple single-family spot that needs a little TLC. Double the budget for a larger residence with original woodwork and a wood-burning fireplace, or spend $200,000 for something with recent renovations and more than 2,000 square feet. In this rural area, properties often stick around for a few months before finding a new owner.

Miller's Pizza is a local favorite, among other casual local eateries
Miller's Pizza can be your go-to for a bite, as it's your closest restaurant and loved by locals. You'll find more popular places across the creek and railroad tracks, within walking or biking distance for active locals. Coffee shops, taverns and diner-style spots have a casual, no-frills throughline that makes you feel welcome and comfortable wherever you go. "The main street smells so good as you walk by the local restaurants," Barrett Douglass says. There are a few small stores and specialty shops in town where you may be able to pick up a few things on your list, but most residents drive a couple of miles into Buckeye to visit Walmart and Aldi. The commercial area is filled with fast-food restaurants when you need a meal on the go.
