About Bellefontaine

About an hour northwest of Columbus, Bellefontaine offers a comfortable small-town pace with a revitalized downtown full of local shops and eateries. Home to around 14,000 residents, the city serves as the heart of Logan County, known for its quiet neighborhoods and deep community roots. It also has a couple of unique claims to fame, including Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio, and Court Avenue, the first paved concrete street in the country.

Between community parks in town and quick weekend trips to Indian Lake or Mad River Mountain, it is a practical, welcoming spot to put down roots.
