Rendville is small in size but outsized in story, a former coal town with a proud legacy of social progress and a present-day pace that rewards front-porch evenings and star-filled skies. Outdoor lovers find big adventures just minutes away at Burr Oak State Park, where lakeside trails and quiet coves invite weekend escapes, and in the sprawling hardwoods of the Wayne National Forest, perfect for hiking, birding, and autumn color tours.
Daily needs are close at hand in nearby New Lexington, while the broader services of county offices are centered in Perry County. The area’s cultural fabric runs deep—residents celebrate the “Little Cities of Black Diamonds” heritage, and local makers and history buffs keep community traditions alive with pop-up exhibits and events. Families appreciate the intimate, small-town feel, with K–12 options served by districts in southern Perry County, plus easy access to career-focused programs at Hocking College and the academic offerings of Ohio University in Athens.
Commuters enjoy straightforward drives to Athens for college-town arts and dining, or to Zanesville for shopping and medical care through Genesis HealthCare System. Weekends might mean kayaking at Burr Oak, festivals in nearby towns, or quiet time at home—Rendville makes room for all of it.
