    "Small town that has expanded outward. Little Semitruck Parking. As a driver I have had to get creative. Two locally owned taxi companies. If you have a car or don’t mind walking you can get around."
  • Tobie D.
    "Great town but keep your business to yourself and people are cool. Schools are great but both the schools and water are expensive. "
  • Austin N.
    "This town is awful. Heroin and meth are spreading fast throughout this town and none of the businesses are successful "
  • Jordan P.
    "You need a car, bike, taxi, or walk. Currently one of the bridges is under construction so traffic is heavier on the other one."
  • Roxanne A. C.
    "In this neighborhood people are snooty and rude. They complain about others instead of minding their own business. I love this town not the neighborhood."
  • Katlyngrimes
    "We have no public transportation. There are a lot of bicyclists and pedestrians though. Most of us own our own personal vehicles and work in neighboring towns. "
  • Vsnow
    "Nice area and neighborhood. Country living but close to roadways to town, even on winter roads. Very private. "
  • akrdnr
    "Wonderful area of Defiance, with rolling hills, green space and a great school system! Just on the edge of town...great country atmosphere. Best of both....rural living with all city amenities!"
  • msutton25
    "Defiance is a mid-size city that is continually growing but maintains its historic, family-friendly atmosphere. There is something to do for every age range. The public and private schools are exceptional and offer sports, music and other extra-curriculars. Defiance College is well established and attended. There are many arts programs offered as well as a wonderful library that overlooks the confluence of the Maumee and Auglaize rivers, Defiance is a good place to raise a family, attend school, volunteer or just sit back and enjoy all it has to offer."
