It really depends on what neighborhood you choose to live in and your circle of friends. Sounds like you are single and relatively young. Honestly, there are some wonderful neighborhoods in the Toledo area, both in the city and in the suburbs. I read a report recently that stated that Toledo was the most affordable large city in Ohio for homebuyers. Anyway, there's plenty to do with a group of friends and Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati are all drivable destinations for entertainment and outdoor activities. I live close to Toledo and it's.not that bad unless you have to deal with the feckless, local politicians. You want to consider the West and far South areas of town. Happy hunting.

Born and raised in Toledo, moved to Chicago then moved back with no regrets. The quality of life here related to cost of living is unmatched. There are a ton of restaurants, outdoor recreation opportunities, great museum and zoo and it's relatively easy to get from point a to point b. I'm not a suburban girl, prefer the city life and have never had an issue with crime myself. I definitely think Toledo is a hidden gem.

Hey there! Caught your post about considering a move to Toledo, and figured I'd chime in as a lifelong local (47 years running!). Let me tell you, the love for this city grows stronger with every passing year.

Sure, there were times I grumbled about winter (Lake Erie throws some curveballs!), but lately, even those seem milder. Maybe it's just appreciating cozy nights by the fire with a hot Toledo Mud Hens coffee (yep, you'll learn all about them!).

But beyond the weather, here's the real magic of Toledo:

Your wallet smiles here: Affordability is a huge plus. Housing, groceries, even fun stuff – your budget goes further, leaving you more room to explore the many delights Toledo offers.

Foodie paradise: Forget boring chains! Toledo's culinary scene is bursting with diversity. From mouthwatering tacos to fancy farm-to-table, your taste buds will be dancing. And don't miss Tony Packo's hot dogs – a Toledo must-try!

Downtown's got the moves: Don't underestimate the "sleepy Midwest town" label. Summer in Toledo's downtown is electric! Catch a Mudhens game (Go Hens!), enjoy waterfront concerts, or wander through art walks – there's always something happening. And the new Glass City Metropark is a green oasis by the river, perfect for picnicking, biking, or just soaking up the city's energy.

Toledo is an amazing city or an awful one it is what you make it, just like any city. We have amazing parks, zoos, museums, a small but exciting music scene, amazing food, a big ass casino, airport, river walk, our downtown has been seeing a resurrection over the last decade and there is always something to do. We also have designated DORA areas where you can drink (if you drink alcohol) outside and on certain streets in several areas of the city. Incredible festivals over the summer like Love fest, Greek American festival, Toledo Pride, Jeep Fest, Polish festival, Taco wars and lots more. A brand new redeveloped river front in its final phase of construction… I could go on and on about the pros. One of the biggest cons is most people that have lived here their whole life will hate on the city because all they do is sit at home and bitch and complain lol. We're a small to medium sized city but also lots of diversity, plus, we're a sanctuary city for refugees which is amazing!
