$70,000 can still buy you a real home in Ohio. A three-bedroom house with a front porch, a driveway, and mature trees. So why are these homes sitting empty across the state?
Across Ohio's forgotten towns — Youngstown, Dayton, Toledo, Akron and beyond — beautiful older homes are listed for less than the price of a new pickup truck. But behind every affordable $70,000 Ohio home is a story most buyers never see: lost industries, shrinking populations, and neighborhoods slowly emptying while the rest of America grows somewhere else.
Today we're traveling across Ohio to uncover the towns where cheap houses tell a much bigger story about the American dream. This is the Ohio the real estate listings never show you.
