What I like most about Medina is the wonderful school system with awesome teachers! The schools offer something for everyone to get involved in, academics and extra- curricular activities. The teachers truly care, and prepared my children for a successful college career through preparation and high expectations.

There is alot of growth in businesses and the city is working hard to improve road system to accommodate the traffic and run smoothly.

Traffic is always bad. People are snooty entitled and miserable. Weather sucks pretty much year round. We are running out of room so new neighborhoods are constantly being crammed in new places. Nobody can drive, constantly being hit, the roads suck, and when they do construction they do multiple main roads at once and it makes traffic even more horrendous. Don't come. Pick a different state, there is noithing in Ohio for anyone
Lots of older folks, which is good because it's quiet! There's tons to do from mountain bike trails, multiple large parks, disc golf courses, Remote Control car track, skate parks and more! The community recreation center is very nice too
