Carrollton in Carroll County is a village with a natural setting and vast amounts of farmland. Originally a major area for oil fracking and gas drilling, Carrollton has borne witness to the industry’s booms and declines, and in turn, echoed the turns of the oil industry. “Carrollton is a farm town where everyone knows everyone,” says Mike Boylan, a local Stark County Realtor at Cutler Realty. “This is a small town that is car-dependent. People tend to keep to themselves, and you won’t find much here except for several shops at the village center.”

Quiet lifestyle in Carroll County
Colonial Revival architecture and ranch-style homes dominate the housing stock in Carrollton. Houses near downtown Main Street are closer together and have smaller lot sizes of around 6,000 square feet. A three-bedroom single-family property here is typically built around the 1950s, with a price listed around $140,000 to $180,000. Venturing further out, houses are spread apart and come with acre-sized lots. “The land quickly opens wide up and it’s a long way between houses,” says Boylan. The median listing price is $160,000 and ranges between $110,000 and $430,000. There are a few large homes built around the early 2000s that go for about $400,000; these properties average over 3,000 square feet and have more contemporary facades.

The Federal-Style McCook House, home of Daniel McCook, is a present-day Civil War Museum. Since 1951, the Algonquin Mill Fall Festival has taken place every year to celebrate the mill’s history in the pioneering era. Locals flock to the town square for live music and pancakes.
