I grew up in a SMALL town of Huron, Ohio. I saw Cedar Point (amusement park) was mentioned....in Sandusky Ohio. It's close to Sandusky. I graduated HS with about 110 people. Our whole HS had about 500. Pretty small-but a great place to grow up! Huron is located in between Toledo & Cleveland on the lake-lake Erie. Good Luck!

Hate to throw a damper in here, but I grew up in Kenton and wouldn't live there now if you PAID me!!!!
I now live in Wooster and it's a great community. May be moving to NC soon and am looking forward to mild winters. |

Greetings—
I grew up in this idyllic one-mile square village. My 84 year old mother still lives in our homestead. There are appoximately 3500 people. The schools are excellent. People are friendly. It is one hour +, to Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Variety of shopping venues. Kid friendly. Lovely parks and facilities. "Mayberry" has nothing on McDonald. My best. |

You should look into Lebanon or Wilmington! Both nice towns. Lebanon has a more upscale flavor and Wilmington is largely farmland. Depends on what you're looking for, but they're both centrally located to to Dayton and Cincinnati.

I like Bucyrus. I'm in Marion by the way & we are looking at getting out as the job market isnt' that great here (my husband works for the state & that is our only income (that goodness it's great pay & benefits)...I haven't been able to find work here since we moved here from Florida almost 2 years ago).

Hartville, Oh is a nice little town
their crime rate is very low, has a little bit of everything. If you want you could move outside of it's city limits and live out in the country, move into one of their nice developments, or move more closer to town. It has about 5 main school districts. Lake, made up of about 3, Uniontown, and Marlington. My child goes to Marlington and we are really happy with it. It is more out in the open. If you live in Hartville your child would go to Marlboro Elementary. It is really nice, especially in the fall. |

Granville, Ohio! Now that is a nice place. I was born in Columbus but lived in Granville until 1976. Moved to California in 1976 when I was 11 but oh I have to say I only have fond memories of Granville. My mother was a nurse at Dennison University and we went to her hospital everyday after school on the campus and caused a ruckus
. We learned to swim at the University and everyone knew who we were. It was great. From what I remember it was a quaint town, very family oriented. We were always in the 4th of July parade and I remember they would put buckets in the Maple trees for maple syrup and they would close a section of the main street and the whole town would come for pancakes hosted by the churches on the 2 corners. I remember my friend her mom and dad bought one of the nice old Inns in Granville and we would play in the old antique rooms and drink shirley temples in the restaurant and do our homework. It was fun growing up there. Housing prices are high. I was researching places to retire and for the fun of it I looked up Granville for home prices and was amazed because they were as much as California. Beautiful Place! |

^Granville is a rapidly growing city. That might be why the housing prices have risen. But you can find some very nice towns just NE and east of Columbus in Licking County and parts of Franklin County. I wouldnt move to Delaware County. That place is growing too fast. Too much sprawl. Although the town of Delaware is very very nice for all the growth that has occured. Columbus has some great areas and some very nice little towns.

Marietta definitely has that small town feel. People here are very friendly and kind. Marietta is right along the Ohio River and just a few minutes away from Williamstown/ Parkersburg, WV. This area is gorgeous. Marietta is a part of the Wayne Nat'l Forest, so there are many beautiful drives around here. There is a historical side of Marietta where the houses are old and very beautiful with brick streets and the other side is more country. There are several farms in the area.
I know that you posted about small towns in Ohio back in March, but hopefully this will still be a help to you. Feel free to view what else I've posted about the Marietta/ Williamstown area, or let me know if you have any other questions! |
