Current Resident: Sidney, Ohio is where I grew up and where I currently reside. This town may not be the biggest or most populated place, but its a really great place. The structure in this town is very special and people work for the benefit of others. Not to mention, Sidney City Schools are in this town and they are very beneficial towards the students in this area. In Sidney, most people know each other and that factor is very special as well because it makes me feel safer as a resident and makes me feel like I am truly a part of something amazing. The only thing I would change, is that I would try to add some fun activities to do. We have a bowling alley, a skating rink, and small shops to go to, but I wish we had a mall or even an arcade. I think these being added would make this town that much better.... Read 44 reviews

Current Resident: Jackson Center is a tight-knit community who supports one another, especially in times of need. There are many places to work in town, including Airstream, Plastipak, EMI, and Lacal, just to name a few. They have a great school system, and lots of opportunities to get involved in the community. With a couple gas stations, as well as restaurants, hardware store, movie theater, Family Dollar, Napa Auto Parts, hair salons, insurance companies, and three different choices for your banking needs, Jackson Center has just about everything you need!...

Niche User: The area I live in is a great place to live to start and raise a family. Crime is very low, the neighbors are friendly, school systems are extremely good, and bushiness are doing very well. I would most certainly live here again if I had the choice to do so. I would say that this place is 8/10 compared to everywhere else, since it is very helping and nice community, but you may have to drive a little to get to a mall or other locations.... Read 1 review

Current Resident: We moved to Clinton Twp 3 years ago from a neighboring city. The difference is unbelievable. The overall sense of keeping the city clean is remarkably better also. There is many events through the library and other parts of the city being promoted all of the time. We just absolutely loved be it here...... Read 1 review

Niche User: I have spent my whole life living in the area I do. No matter what happens to a family, another one is always there to help out. No one discriminates against another person and everyone is free to be them selves. There is always something new to try whether it's the new African cuisine store down the road or the world famous spot down town. I know that as time goes on that Shelby County will continue to grow bigger and better!!... Read 2 reviews
