A wooded oasis along the Ohio River

Rural River Affordable

Pomeroy is a quiet, wooded community nestled along the Ohio River. Perfect for renters who adore seclusion and pastoral landscapes, Pomeroy is an ideal choice with open pastures and beautiful riverfront views. This rural town has a variety of very affordable houses, townhomes, and apartments available for rent. The downtown district is anchored by the Ohio River so you can enjoy a meal with a view at a locally owned restaurant. Downtown Pomeroy also hosts office buildings, boutiques, and service-based businesses. When locals aren’t enjoying downtown, you’ll find them on the water. Although Pomeroy is a great rural escape, the town is within driving distance for a weekend trip to several major cities including Cincinnati, Columbus, and Pittsburgh.
