Richwood balances small-town ease with surprising access to parks, schools, and regional amenities. Set in Union County, the village sits an easy drive from Marysville to the south and Marion to the north, making commutes and weekend outings straightforward via OH-4 and OH-37. A walkable core with locally owned shops and everyday services gives day-to-day life a relaxed rhythm, while community traditions keep the calendar full.
Families appreciate the strong foundation provided by North Union Local Schools, where academics, career-tech pathways, arts, and Wildcats athletics create opportunities from kindergarten through graduation. The Richwood-North Union Public Library extends learning with story times, makerspace activities, and digital resources, and it functions as a friendly hub for newcomers to plug in quickly.
Outdoors, Richwood Lake Park offers room to roam, seasonal events, and space to fish or picnic under big skies. Late summer shines with the beloved Richwood Independent Fair, an end-of-season celebration featuring livestock shows, home arts, live music, and midway fun. Local institutions such as Richwood Bank support youth programs and civic projects, reinforcing the area’s collaborative spirit and steady growth.
Housing ranges from classic farmhouses on tree-lined streets to newer builds, with pricing that often compares favorably to larger markets nearby. With daily conveniences close at hand and larger retail, healthcare, and entertainment options a short hop away in surrounding communities, Richwood offers an easygoing base for work and life.
