Corning offers a quiet, close-knit pace with big-nature access right at the edge of Perry County. Daily routines are simple and convenient, with SR 13 and 155 connecting residents to errands and employers in New Lexington and Crooksville, while broader options in Nelsonville and Logan sit an easy drive away. For services and permits, county government resources are readily available through the county government.
Families appreciate a school community where teachers know students by name, while nearby higher education and workforce training are a short hop away at Hocking College in Nelsonville. Weekend enrichment is close to home too—history buffs can ride vintage rails on the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, and local arts and small-town festivals around the valley round out the calendar.
Outdoors, Corning punches above its size. Head to the coves and wooded ridgelines of Burr Oak State Park for hiking, paddling, and year-round wildlife watching, or roam tens of thousands of acres in the Wayne National Forest. When you’re craving bucket-list scenery, waterfalls and sandstone caves at Hocking Hills State Park make a great day trip.
