Why Ohio townships are amazing places to live

  • Proximity to facilities and amenities – Many townships are located near shops, cafes, restaurants, and fitness studios, making it more convenient to shop for essentials, meet friends for lunch, and enjoy day-to-day living. Proximity to amenities will enable you to live a rich, full life without being car-dependent.
  • Relaxed pace of living – Proximity to offices and work hubs shortens the daily commute, putting the elusive work-life balance within reach of working professionals and business owners. Access to walking trails and green spaces also allows for outdoor recreation, which encourages physical activity and offers an opportunity to disconnect from the digital world.
  • Peaceful and scenic environment – Northeast Ohio’s natural scenery is second to none. Those who live here enjoy a peaceful environment with easy access to nature trails and parks. With relative peace and quiet, residents can relax and go about their day-to-day lives with little to no disruption.
  • Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) – It’s common for Townships to have an RWA, with homeowners pooling cash for maintenance costs. This helps keep maintenance costs lower and more manageable for homeowners who want to keep their properties in good shape and who want to live in a clean and well-kept area.
