Philly flavor in a Midwest outpost
New Philadelphia honors its Pennsylvania namesake with more than just a name. The grid layout of the city's downtown was influenced by Philadelphia, a post office was modeled after Independence Hall, and locals can even grab a cheesesteak at mainstay J-N-G Grill. Founded 122 years after Philadelphia, New Philadelphia has grown into a centrally located Ohio community of 17,700. It offers accessibly priced homes, multiple major employers, an active arts scene and a unique public park. “Affordability is a draw, and it sounds cliche, but it really is a great place to raise children,” Shonda Davis, a Realtor with Keller Williams Legacy Group. “I would say it’s safe. It’s a small town where people look out for each other. There’s a strong sense of community. A lot of people might move away, but many people will move back. And I will say that as I’m one of those people. I actually did that twice.”
New Philadelphia residents have easy access to everyday amenities.
Classic homes from the turn of the 20th century
Many of New Philadelphia’s homes date to around the turn of the 20th century, an era of significant growth in the area. The city’s population jumped 249% between 1880 to 1920, from about 3,000 to roughly 10,700. These classic houses come in a medley of shapes and sizes. “You’re seeing Dutch colonials, regular colonials, two-story stick houses,” Davis says The condition of these homes varies, so the price tags can differ quite a bit — anywhere from $45,000 to $375,000. Recent construction, though limited, is available in developments like Deerfield and Oak Shadows for $300,000 to $600,000. The median price here is about $192,500.
