"You see people walking their dogs almost all hours of the day. Lots of college students with dogs. Most neighborhoods in Toledo have a beautiful green space to explore with your dog. "

"There aren’t very many community events, at least near my apartment. But there are fireworks, and the Lucas County fair. Unfortunately, the events are either not extremely large or that aren’t well advertised."

"I spent the majority of my life in this area. I moved away from it when I turned 13 and came back at 24. So I've been over here for 12 years since. The area is still nice but the crime element has increased. I've had a burglary in my old apartment and someone broke into my car at my current residence. "

"GREAT place to raise children and walk your pets. I've lived here as a professional, midlife single woman and I love that there are still seniors living here, along with many younger families. Very friendly, yet "private" due to the frontage to our properties."

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 kids attending Old Orchard Elementary and we’ve lived in the community for since 2013. We are very happy with the administration and staff. Our kids are loved, challenged, and safe. The ratings here are tough to see but are where they are due to systematic issues, not from what happens on a daily basis at the school. That said they are improving and the investments being made by the school system, especially at the high school level, are exciting and will begin to return results soon. We are TPS proud!Parent Review3y ago3 Reviews - Gesu Elementary School

The school is small enough to offer a family atmosphere while providing strong academics, art, music, technology, and Spanish. Very welcoming environment, especially to new families!Other Review9y ago6 Reviews
