It seems that whenever people talk about the United States they mention the same states again and again. Everyone knows that Florida, New York, and California have a lot going for them.
But what about the states that fly a little under the radar? Some parts of the U.S. may not have the glamor of its most famous states, but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing there. In many cases, it’s those underrated states that end up being the best.
And there’s arguably no state more underrated than Ohio, a Midwest state that is often overlooked except for when its sports teams are doing well. Below, we’ll look at just some of the reasons why you might consider spending extended periods of time in Ohio.
Some Excellent Amusement Parks
Like having fun? Then Ohio has you covered. Here you’ll find some of the best amusement parks in the country. Indeed, it’s only really California and Florida that can match Ohio for amusement parks, though we think they’re better in Ohio due to lower prices and fewer crowds.
The best two are Cedar Point and Kings Island. When you live in Ohio, trips to these two iconic parks just become part of the routine.
There’s Beautiful Natural Scenery
If you love going on adventures, then Ohio is a great place to live. For whatever reason, people don’t seem to realize that Ohio is full of outdoor wonders. And that’s maybe for the best, since when you’re there you get to have these sights essentially all to yourself.
The best in the state is Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is the only national park in the state. Take a walk here, and you might just stumble upon a red fox, coyote, beaver, falcon, or other staples of the great American outdoors.
There Are Great Places to Live
There are plenty of people moving to Ohio, especially those who have the option to work remotely. The state has a wide variety of excellent places to live, including cosmopolitan Cleveland and college-town Columbus. People looking for places that are a little quieter yet still have access to the major cities will find much to love about Solon Park apartments, which are located in Solon, just a 25-minute drive from downtown Cleveland. Whether you’re looking for city, suburbs, or, indeed, rural life, then Ohio will have just the place you’ve been looking for.
The Food Is Outstanding
As with most things related to Ohio, most people don’t give that much credit to the state’s cuisine, but they absolutely should. You’ll find some of the best food in the country in The Buckeye State, which is home to plenty of creative, innovative, and — most importantly of all — affordable eateries. All of the major cities are doing special things., food-wise, but especially Columbus, which is jam-packed with casual restaurants that are hearty and delicious. Basically, what we’re saying is that you’ll have no problem finding a great place to eat when you’re in Ohio since they seem to be on every corner.
