Communities

Middletown, Ohio is a historically industrial city now striving toward renewal. While economic indicators like income and poverty remain below average, local arts, downtown investment, immigrant contributions, and new developments signal a hopeful transformation. The cost of living is relatively low, housing affordable, and the location ideal for those commuting to greater Cincinnati or Dayton. Community spirit is evident in grassroots efforts and everyday friendliness—even amid lingering challenges rooted in its Rust Belt past.
