Living in Athens
Neighborhoods
Historic downtown core with brick-lined streets and independent storefronts; livelier, faster-paced areas closer to the Ohio University campus; quieter residential pockets on the outskirts offering a more relaxed small-town feel within the compact ~10 sq mi city. Housing mix includes older craftsman homes converted to multi-unit rentals, purpose-built apartments near campus, and modest townhomes/garden-style units.
