Toledo, OH Area Reviews
Catrina • 1+ years in Toledo
September 4, 2025Toledo has a lot of fantastic things to do and places to live. I'm particularly fond of Ottawa, especially with its Metropark system. For families, there are neighborhoods a little bit away from Toledo's main campus, which to me feel like less congested areas that are easier to get around. I love the easy access to the Ohio Turnpike!
Cat • 2+ years in Toledo
May 7, 2025Toledo is a great place to live. Like any big city, it has all the modern amenities, but it also borders Lake Erie and is super close to Michigan and Indiana, making it easier to work in one of three states. Even better, the turnpike across northern Ohio comes through Toledo (super fast highway to get from there to the outskirts of Cleveland and down through Youngstown). Honestly, you can't beat the location.
