Nestled at the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum rivers, Zanesville offers a rich historical backdrop for apartment living in this Ohio city. Known as the "Y Bridge City" due to its unique three-way bridge—the only one of its kind still in use in the United States—this former state capital combines historical charm with contemporary living. With average rent prices around $747 for a one-bedroom apartment, significantly below the Ohio state average of $1,055, renters enjoy an affordable cost of living across the city's 13 square miles of established neighborhoods.
Located 52 miles east of Columbus, Zanesville provides convenient access to big-city amenities while maintaining its distinct character. The downtown district showcases preserved architecture from its days as Ohio's capital (1810-1812), including the historic Muskingum County Courthouse. The city's position along both the Historic National Road (U.S. Route 40) and Interstate 70 ensures easy travel connections. With average two-bedroom apartments at $1,128 and the presence of Ohio University-Zanesville and Zane State College, Zanesville offers a mix of historic charm and educational opportunities in a community of nearly 25,000 residents.
