Yellow Springs is a cute hippy town with diverse people. It began with a dream to become one of the most progressive utopias in the Nation, but after a lot of arguments, that didn't happen. However, those values of community, inclusivity, and equity are still held by most Villagers. Only about 3,500 people live in the boundaries of Yellow Springs. It is surrounded by land-trusts that turn acres into open-spaces and farms so that the Village does not grow/spread. It has several nature preserves including the Glen Helen, which is a 1,100-acre preserve owned by the local College, Antioch.
I have lived in the Villiage of Yellow Springs for over two years. The people I've met are friendly and easy-going. They enjoy the simple life. It seems everyone knows everyone else and you probably shouldn't live here if you are looking to keep your personal business to yourself. There are a few celebrities among the villagers, including the comedian, Dave Chappel. He often throws parties.

Yellow Springs is a wonderful progressive town that values the arts and is home to Antioch College, a radical college with dedicated alum all over the world! Dave Chappelle also lives here, and throws great parties. One of my favorite places is Antioch College Wellness Center. The best coffee shop is the Emporium, they have weekly events and also sell wine. There is also the Glen Helen Nature Preserve! A great place to take a hike and relate with nature.
Yellow Springs, is a unique town that definitely community oriented! There is a lot support for local artistry and community involvement. Coming from Chicago, Yellow Springs feels very safe with friendly people around. This town is polarizing to the rest of the region due to its strong leftist liberal leanings.
