Living in our District

As a small community with a big commitment to our people, Garrettsville offers residents a fantastic living experience.

A variety of business and retail districts matches the character of nearly any shopper, be it charmingly quaint, no-nonsense specialty, or one-stop-shopping. The active Chamber of Commerce and Village event committees keep the Village hopping with festivals, car shows, socials, and expos, guaranteeing there will always be something to do downtown.

If you are looking for a school for your children and work for yourself, professionals can enjoy the comfortable office spaces combined with easy access to the major courthouses, hospitals, educational institutions and plenty of opportunity to entertain clients without having to battle city traffic to grab some lunch.

Industrial businesses have a place here as well. Garrettsville is an industrial nexus, located at the intersection of two state routes and convenient to the interstates and the Ohio Turnpike. The Industrial District houses the various factories and industrial companies that Garrettsville is proud to host. With a significant labor pool within walking distance, and plenty more just an easy commute away, Garrettsville is a great place for an industrial business to call home.

Garrettsville area's solid Midwestern values make it the very best place to live, work and learn.
