Apartments for Rent in Mansfield, OH

Founded in 1808 along the Mohican River, Mansfield has long attracted new residents, with its location in the foothills of the Allegheny Plateau. During the 1920s, Mansfield flourished as a manufacturing hub – Westinghouse Electric Corporation began in Mansfield, and other industry giants included AK Steel and Tappan Stove Company.

The historic and iconic Ohio State Reformatory is a fascinating (and somewhat spooky) destination for both residents and visitors. Built in 1886, the gorgeous Victorian was designed by Levi T. Scofield, an architect from Cleveland. The impressive structure is over 250,000 square feet. The former prison features ghost walks, ghost hunts, and special events.

On the topic of ghosts, Mansfield is the “Haunted Capital of Ohio.” In addition to the Ohio State Reformatory, visitors can also hunt ghosts at the Mansfield Fire Museum, the Haunted Bissman Building, Brownella Cottage, the Renaissance Performing Arts Theatre, and Malabar Farm State Park.

Other interesting locations to explore while looking for your new apartment in Mansfield include Oak Hill Cottage, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the country; the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, a 90-acre sanctuary; and Snow Trails, Ohio’s first ski resort.
