Madison
Neighborhood in Marne, Ohio
Licking County 43055, 43056
Historic and newer homes on big lots
At the top of this market, home buyers will find stunning plantation-style colonials with wraparound porches and multiple bedrooms and baths on 10-acre-plus lots of rolling farmland and old-growth forests for under $1 million. The ubiquitous Ohio white ash and buckeye trees rim the horizon, along with sycamores, sugar maples and beech trees. Grand old colonials from the 19th century with original fireplaces and additions such as two-car garages on lots over 5 acres closer to Newark are listed for under $750,000. At the bottom of the price range, long ranch-style Fairmont manufactured homes can be found on acre-sized lots in the shadows of mountains for under $300,000.

Outdoor recreation for every hobby
The Licking River and its tributaries meander back and forth across this green swath of neighborhood, offering residents easy and widespread access to the time-honored local tradition of bass fishing. The 775-acre Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve has 10 miles of trails accessible on the eastern side of Madison. The preserve is part of the Dillon Wildlife Area, approximately 8 square miles of forests of hickory and cottonwood trees bisected by the Licking River and the Dillon Reservoir inside the Licking River Valley. Visitors can hunt, fish, boat, hike and birdwatch in this dense wilderness. Wyatt’s Playground in Legacy Park is a fantastic, inclusive playscape for younger adventurers.

A music-loving community
The Licking Valley Local School District schools are congregated conveniently together in the east of Madison off the main thoroughfare, Marne Road. Licking Valley Elementary School received a B-minus from the school ranking website Niche. Licking Valley Middle and Licking Valley High School both received C-pluses. The National Association of Music Merchants, or NAMM Foundation, has ranked Licking Valley High as a Best Community for Music Education for four straight years.

A two-lane highway through rolling farmland
Ohio State Route 16, called Marne Road in this part of the state, is the main throughway in Madison. The highway runs straight toward Columbus, reaching downtown in 45 miles. The closest north-south highway is Ohio State Route 13, which runs through Newark. Cars are a must, and four-wheel drive is a plus along the rural roads in Madison.Sparse pickings inside Madison, but plenty nearby
The Cottage Restaurant, a down-home traditional American eatery in Marne, is the only spot for dining out in Madison. In next-door Newark, however, there’s plenty to choose from. Restaurants and businesses populate this small city where the Ohio State University at Newark operates. On the edge of Madison, where the urban section starts, patrons will find fast food chains and regional and local family restaurants, from pizza to Tex-Mex. There’s a Save A Lot in this eastern part of the city, but Madison residents may prefer the options in the more upscale north of Newark, such as Kroger and Walmart.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
