1936 Highland Park Road Unit apt 3

Where a well-known liberal arts campus meets the rolling farmland of Ohio's Amish Country, Wooster stands as one of northeastern Ohio's most distinctive small cities. As the county seat of Wayne County, the city of roughly 27,000 draws daily life from two powerful anchors: The College of Wooster, a nationally ranked private liberal arts institution, and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), affiliated with The Ohio State University. Historic downtown runs along Liberty Street, where boutique shops, locally owned restaurants, and cozy cafes occupy ornate 19th-century buildings -- and the compact layout makes it easy to get around on foot in many neighborhoods.

Renters will find a range of housing options that reflect the city's architectural variety. Older craftsman and early-20th-century homes line the residential streets south of the college campus, while midcentury ranch-style houses fill central Wooster neighborhoods.
