Moving Near Wooster
Hi Everyone,
I will be moving to Ohio this summer, hoping to find a good town close to Wooster (a range of about 20-30 minutes). I'm in my young 20's so I'm looking for a town that has a bit of night life to offer, along with an active community, with shops, restaurants, parks, etc. Any towns you can think of that I should check out? Thanks so much!  |

Ashland may be right for you.
Wooster is a fine town. Ashland county is 25 or 30 minutes away and has a state park. Both towns are college towns but Ashland has lower taxes and more trees. |

Night Life
Wooster doesn't have very much to offer. The places to go would be New Philadelphia,Dover Or Columbus all further than 30 minutes but not by much.

I live smack dab in the middle of Wooster.
Quiet town despite having the college around the corner. If you want a place with a nightlife, this isn't it.
I like the quiet!!!

You are in big trouble if you require a community with a pulse anywhere near Wooster.

The closest I can think of that *might* offer something would probably be around Akron / Kent. I don't know much about other communities because I just moved to the area myself. All in all, the whole area is very affordable with good people. Just a slower pace of life and not so much nightlife. However... if you put yourself centalized (say, live near Wadsworth), you're within a half hour commute to downtown Cleveland at that point.

Dover and New Philidelphia are terrible. They are sad and depressing places that as far as I can tell have very little to offer to young people (all the ones I know there are dying to get out of it). And Columbus is an hour and a half away from Wooster (not a little over a half an hour as someone previously suggested). Wooster doesn't have a whole lot to offer, but there is a college downtown and the north end has grown tremendously to have a lot of shopping. There are a couple college-age bars in Wooster (three amigos, bw3s, and I can't think of the last one's name). And there are a ton of parks in Wooster. I do agree with bubbagirl that the akron/Kent area may be a little bit better option (I live in Kent currently and there's all kinds of stuff to do here).
