Jackson Reviews
Rating 3.7 out of 5 10 reviews
Jackson holds a special place in my heart, but it is definitely below average when compared to other more rural cities.
I'll start with positives. Jackson has more businesses, a larger population, and more to do and see than the other places in the county. Further, it's schools and houses are much nicer, the Ironman stadium far surpasses many others. JHS seems to have more to offer than the other nearby schools, as well.
Parks in Jackson are also nicer, especially now that Manpower park has been upgraded. The celebrations held in Jackson, such as the Apple Festival and the Fourth of July celebration, are highlights of the year.
As for negatives, poverty and crime are overbearing. Tore up roads and abandoned houses, and addicts are everywhere. Additionally, there is little for teens and children to do year-round, especially poorer ones. Additionally, there is very little diversity, and the only culture is welsh.
All in all, Jackson is not the worst, but it's far from the best.

Jackson, Ohio has a few good stores and restaurants to stop at. Jackson, Ohio could benefit from bringing in more stores and restaurants that people would stop at.
Jackson is a nice, small town. It is a cozy place to raise a family. There are several places to eat, parks to play in, and stores to shop. The people in Jackson are very neighborly and there won't be a person who doesn't know your name. The schools are very nice and teachers are very dedicated to their students. The band program is the pride of the town and has over 200 members. The sports programs are some of the best in the state. The small businesses in town are supportive of each other and dedicate their time to the community. This is a loving and supportive community that would love to have you!
