The community is set in a quiet and peaceful environment yet just minutes from schools, shopping plazas and major attractions. Owned by UMH Properties, Inc., Colonial Heights is just one of 67 communities housing over 12,500 home sites. After UMH Properties., Inc. acquired Colonial Heights on September 12th, 2013, many upgrades have taken place. In the very near future there will be a new community clubhouse, upgraded mail centers and much more. In addition, there are beautiful, new, spacious homes, with the options to buy, rent or rent to own. Located in Jefferson County, you will always find a friendly welcome. Rich in history, this area is where Ohio began. Settlers moved into the area in 1786 after a fort was built along the banks of the Ohio River and named it after Baron Von Steuben, a soldier who supported the American Revolution. Just minutes from the community you can visit the Carnegie Library, founded by Andrew Carnegie which has remained in operation since 1902. Union Cemetery, which was often walked by General George McCook, a member of the Civil War Family of Fighting McCooks , is one of the most beautiful in the country.
