Small-town community with a main street of shops and restaurants

Known as the ‘antique capital of the Midwest’ because of its plethora of antique shops on Main Street, Wayne Township blends a walkable village with the scenery of the countryside and a nearby sprawling state park. “People choose to move to the area for the quaint small-town feel and closeness to Caesar Creek State Park,” says Angella Layne, a Realtor with NavX Realty, LLC. From the charming atmosphere to the natural beauty of Ohio, the township may be a fit for those seeking a slower pace of life. In Wayne Township, locals enjoy a rural area defined by an outdoorsy lifestyle and the small-town community vibe. “You’ll be on your back deck grilling, and you’ll hear your neighbors doing the same,” says Myles Greely, a Realtor at Keller Williams Community Partners. “All the kids will be playing, and next thing you know, plans happen, and they’re all playing together. It’s really sweet. It’s a small-town community that finds you.”
