Butler offers a relaxed, close-knit lifestyle in the Clear Fork Valley. Its location in Richland County puts you an easy drive from employers, hospitals, and cultural venues in Mansfield, while the Richland B&O Trail runs through town, linking riders and walkers to Bellville and Lexington. Housing options range from century homes on generous lots to newer builds edging the countryside, giving first-time buyers and move-up families room to grow.
Outdoorsy residents make the most of the Richland B&O Trail for morning jogs and family rides. The local stretch is part of the Ohio to Erie Trail, putting long-distance routes within reach. For bigger adventures, it’s a quick drive to Mohican State Park for rugged hiking, paddling, and year-round programs, and to Malabar Farm State Park for farmhouse tours, maple sugaring, and broad picnic lawns.
Education is anchored by Clear Fork Valley Local Schools, including Butler Elementary and the middle/high school campus serving the valley, known for strong academics, competitive athletics, and active music and FFA programs. Daily needs are met in town and nearby, while larger retailers and healthcare hubs in Mansfield are close. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a trusted real estate agent who knows Butler inside and out.
