Hello Folks, I am possibly thinking about relocating from Grand Rapids, MI to the Dayton area in Ohio. What should one expect if they plan to move there? Also, how is the job market looking like out there? How's the crime rate? Are there lots of nice people to meet out there. Feel free to give me any information possible.

Dayton is an okay town. There isn't a ton going on in the city itself but their are efforts to breathe some life in it. Like any other major city, it has its good parts and its bad parts. I don't know if school districts are of any concern to you but from what I remember the top 3 districts are Centerville, Northmont, and Bellbrook. Each have outstanding music programs in their high schools and they also are football pipelines to Ohio State. The people should be friendly enough. The city of Dayton itself is home to a Single-A baseball team as well as the University of Dayton.
I don't know what caused you to pick Dayton but if you're willing to expand your horizons a bit I would suggest Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a lot bigger of a city with probably a better job market. There is a lot happening in downtown Cincy in terms of development and renovation. It is full of beautiful parks and historic neighborhoods. So much suburbanization has gone on though that if you move out to the fringes of Cincinnati along I-275 you are pretty much smack dab between both Dayton and Cincinnati. The two are getting closer and closer to becoming one single metropolitan area. Good luck with your decision (if you haven't already made it by now.)

I am also thinking about moving from the Grand Rapids, MI area, but to the Toledo area. Any suggestions on what areas have the best neighborhoods for a new college graduate? I'd like a communte that's not too lengthy in the morning so I can get downtown in a decent amount of time. Any suggestions would be helpful!
