National Folk architecture is the primary design
Many of the residences date back to the turn of the 20th century, while others were built from the 20s through midcentury. A few homes feature barn-shaped roofs, tapping into modern farmhouse designs and embracing the charm of Ohio's rural and agricultural history. Two-story homes draw from the simplistic designs of National Folk architecture, a style devoted to accessible materials and nonfrivolous designs. Additional styles include Craftsman and ranch-style. Older homes that need upkeep typically sell for between $40,000 and $80,000. Renovated homes in good condition can run between $85,000 and $120,000. Lots are about 1/8 acre, suitable for a small garden or sitting area. Homes either have detached garages or utilize street parking. "Because the area is more affordable, we see a lot of first-time buyers and investors," Mook says.
