Johnstown made history when a farmer turned up a nearly complete mastodon skeleton right beneath the city in 1926—a discovery now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. About 30 miles northeast of Columbus in Licking County, this small city offers a relaxed, close-knit feel with easy access to metro amenities. Downtown’s walkable main street showcases local shops and eateries, while the T.J. Evans Bike Trail provides a scenic paved route for cyclists and walkers. The Butternut Farm Wildcat Sanctuary draws animal lovers, and the Alley Art studio adds a creative spark.
Renters will find a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and smaller apartment communities, often with more space than big-city options. Overall rental costs are typically accessible compared to the Columbus metro, and nearby highways make commuting straightforward. For a quieter base that stays connected to central Ohio, Johnstown makes a compelling choice.
