Bethesda

Situated in Belmont County, this small Ohio village of roughly 1,230 residents offers an accessible entry point into homeownership, with a median home price of $98,500 and a price per square foot of $131. The current market is tight, with only 7 active listings available, which reflects both the limited housing stock typical of smaller rural communities and steady local demand. The average home size of 1,512 square feet provides reasonable space relative to the price point. A 60.6% owner-occupancy rate suggests a stable, resident-rooted community rather than one driven by investor or rental activity. Households here earn a median income of $33,606, making the relatively low price point meaningful for local buyers seeking affordable ownership options. Families with children are served by Union Local School District. Buyers interested in low-cost rural Ohio real estate may find Bethesda worth monitoring, though limited inventory means available properties tend to move without prolonged time on market.
