Top Places to Live?
Trivia Question of the Day: If you could live anywhere in the United States, where would it be?
A. New York City or Chicago! I love the big city
B. Give me the hot weather! I'm thinking Orlando or Santa Clara.
C. I prefer the remote rural areas in Arizona or Wisconsin.
D. Anywhere with a beach. Maine, South Carolina, Michigan, I don't care!
While you may have chosen one of the above places to live, Money Magazine is considering the following to be a top choice for Americans:
E. Springboro, OH
"Why?" you may ask? For its balance.
Springboro, Ohio is located within 30 minutes of the big cities, Dayton and Cincinnati, yet in and of itself does not have the congestion of a big city. Main Street portrays the old-fashioned history that the city contains, with quaint storefronts and family owned businesses. When asked, what is your favorite part of Springboro, one resident replied, "My favorite part about Springboro has to be Main Street. I love how it feels like a little town with so many family oriented businesses and restaurants. Especially K&W ice cream!" Another answered, "Don't forget the Tractor Supply Store! I bought birthday gifts there for my dad the last 2 years!"
Springboro also provides its residents with a various church denominations, quality private schools, and professional hospitals. It is also a bicycle friendly community that provides safe accommodation for cycling and encourages its residents to bike for transportation and recreation. Local farm markets and family-owned pizza restaurants provide a family friendly atmosphere for those in the community. Most of Springboro's subdivisions are even equipped with a community center with a swimming pool and tennis court. Heatherwoode Golf Course is also quite an attraction.
All in all, Springboro is a great mix of suburban life-small enough to feel old-fashioned and personal, yet big enough to stay connected and updated technologically. So look to see if Springboro makes it as ‘one of the top places to live in America' in Money Magazine's August Edition! (I certainly think it is!)
