Midcentury homes with yards space for families
Northwood’s residential areas are laid out in small blocks of gridline streets. “It’s a lot of old development, mostly industrial and residential areas,” says Northwood resident and Wood County Parks communication specialist Jamie Sands. Rows of houses line the area with small green lawns backing right up to the road. Ranch-style brick homes built in the 1920s add to the old-town feel, and single-family homes built in the 1970s are the most common options for homebuyers. Split-levels with garages and just enough yard space for kids to play sell for under $250,000, with most other homes priced around $150,000.
