Geauga County - Forbes TOP 4 Counties to raise a family!
July 9th, 2008I’d just like to say, Yeah Geauga!
The News Herald just published an article that says Forbes Magazine ranked Geauga County as “the nation’s fourth-best county in which to raise a family.” That’s great news, but perhaps not surprising to those of us that currently call Geauga County home.
Why did we rank so high on the list?
“A whopping 86 percent of homes are owner-occupied” - that’s phenomenal! Isn’t the national average running around 70% (and perhaps declining in the wake of so many foreclosures nationwide)?
The article also talks about the rankings being high for Geauga because of “clean air, low crime and a high level of community investment”. I can tell you personally, I like Geauga county because the home prices were good, I had room to stretch out and didn’t feel like I was always on top of my next door neighbor, the people are friendly and it’s easy to get to anything I need, but I’m still in a place that feels like the country. What more could anyone ask for?
If you’re thinking about making a move out to Geauga county and would like to learn more, please let me know. I’ll be happy to help in any way I can! Yeah Geauga!
