Few places in the nation combine a more appealing and diverse environment than Southwest Ohio and the Miami Valley, where major urban centers like Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus harmonize with vibrant small towns and sleepy rural villages. Family-friend communities are one of the Midwest’s most enduring traits, and even the larger urban areas retain the warmth of a close-knit spirit. Especially in many of the smaller towns and villages, strong volunteerism and participation in clubs and organizations creates a genuine family feeling in the community (sourced by neighborhoodscout.com).
