New Lexington is the county seat with a walkable core, historic architecture, and a pace that makes everyday life feel manageable. Commuters appreciate direct routes like US-22 and SR-13, putting larger job markets in Zanesville, Lancaster, and Athens within an easy drive. Weekends often revolve around the courthouse square, local diners, and seasonal events that bring neighbors together from across Perry County and nearby Somerset.
Families are drawn to New Lexington Local Schools for close-knit classrooms, spirited athletics, and hands-on programs that prepare students for both college and careers. Healthcare access is solid, with the regional hub at Genesis HealthCare System a short trip away, and everyday services available right in town.
Outdoor lovers have remarkable options. Day trips to Hocking Hills State Park deliver waterfalls, sandstone gorges, and miles of trails, while Burr Oak State Park offers quiet coves for paddling and wooded paths for wildlife watching. Closer to home, youth sports, community leagues, and countywide festivals keep calendars full year-round.
Housing spans century-old homes with character and newer builds on quieter streets, with price points that often stretch the budget further than in larger cities. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating for work, Agent Pronto can match you with a proven local real estate agent who knows the market and can guide your next move with confidence.
