Need a place by OU? Athens rentals are filling fast
Athens property management companies are seeing a strong demand for off-campus rental houses and apartments for students who enroll at Ohio University and Hocking College. Wharton Rentals in Athens manages houses for dozens of homeowners. Sean Keiffer, property manager and real estate agent at Wharton Rentals, said there are over 100 bedroom units among the properties the company manages. “We have stayed very busy even during the summer break,” Keiffer said on July 22. “A lot of students will come back and secure housing for the following year. We have almost rented all of our units for the 2026-27 school year.” Keiffer said that most of the rental homes that Wharton Rentals manages are intended for students and rent quickly because of their prime locations uptown. “We are renting way in advance than what we were,” Keiffer said. “I think COVID kind of took a toll on housing at first, but now enrollment at the university is up.” The various homes managed by Wharton Rentals have recently remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, large bedrooms, porches and balconies. The company does have a no pet policy, Keiffer said, but noted that emotional support animals are allowed. Elsewhere in Athens, Campus Heights Apartments

Historic building goes up for auction in New Straitsville
NEW STRAITSVILLE – A historic building that was once slated for demolition is being given a second chance. The building, which is over 150 years old, has served as a firehouse, town hall, jail and meeting place for coal miners and labor organizers for the Hocking Valley coal strike of 1884-1885. The building stood unoccupied and decaying for years, and the village lacked funds to do anything with it. As a result, it was set to be demolished. However, the regional non-profit Little Cities of Black Diamonds, a group dedicated to the historical and cultural preservation of Ohio’s coal mining towns, pushed to preserve the building. And it seems that the building might be saved. The Perry County Tribune spoke to New Straitsville Mayor John Roberts, who stated that the building is up for auction. However, in order to keep the property, any new owner would have to meet certain benchmarks. The building has several structural issues, making it unsafe. A reverter clause has been put in place as a result, requiring that improvements must be made within 24 months of acquisition, otherwise ownership of the property will go back to the village of New Straitsville. Roberts stated that the
