Xenia, Ohio Real Estate

Xenia, Ohio Real Estate

Xenia is the Greene County seat, and it’s a city that had to rebuild itself. A devastating F5 tornado in
1974 destroyed nearly half the city — and what stands today is largely the result of that rebuilding, which is
part of why Xenia’s housing stock skews newer than a lot of Ohio county seats its age.

Bicycle Capital of the Midwest

Xenia sits at the hub of a genuinely extensive regional bike trail network, enough that the city has
officially branded itself around it. Combined with the “City of Hospitality” nickname — the name Xenia comes
from the Greek word for hospitality — the city has leaned into a welcoming, outdoor-oriented identity.

Housing stock

Because so much of the city rebuilt after 1974, Xenia has less of the pre-war housing stock common
elsewhere in the region and more mid-to-late-20th-century construction. Xenia Community Schools
serves most of the city, with Legacy Christian Academy and St. Brigid as private options.

Nearby

Wilberforce University, one of the country’s oldest historically Black colleges, sits just
outside the city and adds to the area’s institutional presence.
