Marietta

Situated along the Ohio River in Washington County, this small city of 13,282 residents currently has 80 active listings on the market. The median home price sits at $181,000, with buyers paying an average of $134 per square foot for homes that typically run around 1,805 square feet. That combination offers relatively accessible entry points compared to many Ohio metros, particularly for buyers seeking more square footage for their dollar. The owner-occupied rate of 55.7 percent reflects a market split fairly evenly between owners and renters, which can appeal to investors alongside traditional buyers. Households here earn a median income of $45,986, a figure worth considering when evaluating affordability and local demand. Families with children fall under the Marietta City School District. The riverfront location and Washington County setting contribute to steady interest from buyers relocating from larger markets as well as those already rooted in the region.
