Roaming Shores

Tucked into Ashtabula County in northeastern Ohio, this small lakefront community of roughly 2,024 residents carries a median home price of $260,000 and a price per square foot of $129. With an average home size of 2,032 square feet, buyers get a reasonable amount of space relative to the price point. The owner-occupied rate of 99.1 percent is exceptionally high, signaling a community made up almost entirely of permanent or committed homeowners rather than renters or seasonal investors. Median household income sits at $98,393, suggesting households here have solid purchasing power. Currently, 27 active listings are on the market, which represents a limited inventory given the population of just over 2,000. Homes fall within the Jefferson Area Local School District. The combination of low inventory, high ownership rates, and above-average incomes points to a stable, tight-knit market where properties tend to be held rather than turned over frequently.
