Living in Ohio offers a blend of affordability, opportunity, and genuine Midwestern charm that’s hard to beat. Here’s why you might want to consider calling Ohio home:
Ohio gives you access to vibrant cities like Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, each with its own cultural identity, job market, and entertainment scene—without the high cost of living found in bigger metro areas. Housing is affordable, groceries and utilities are reasonable, and your money simply goes further here.
Ohio has a diverse economy. Whether you’re in healthcare, education, tech, manufacturing, or logistics, there’s a strong job market, especially in Columbus (a rising tech hub), Cleveland (healthcare powerhouse), and Dayton or Toledo (manufacturing and aerospace centers).
If you love experiencing all four seasons, Ohio delivers—from crisp fall foliage and snowy winters to blooming springs and sunny summers. You can go sledding in the winter and hike state parks or kayak rivers in the summer.
With access to Lake Erie, the Appalachian foothills, and over 70 state parks, Ohio is a haven for outdoor lovers. You’ll find hiking, fishing, boating, biking, and plenty of scenic getaways within driving distance.
Home to respected universities like Ohio State, Case Western Reserve, and University of Cincinnati, the state offers strong education and research opportunities—plus top-rated hospitals and medical centers.
Ohioans are known for being friendly, down-to-earth, and community-minded. Whether you’re in a small town or a suburban neighborhood, people still wave, say hi, and genuinely care about their neighbors.
If you’re looking for a balanced life—where you can afford to own a home, find meaningful work, raise a family, and enjoy both city amenities and outdoor spaces—Ohio offers a practical, grounded, and rewarding place to live.
We offer a host of different home designs from our Focus, Heritage, Americana, and Presidential Series in Ohio, all meticulously-crafted with your family’s unique needs in mind.
– Our most elemental home series
The Focus series consists of single-story and two-story single-family homes. With no basement options, Focus homes are the most affordable series we offer. You can easily spot a Focus series floor plan on our website, as each one is named after a number, which corresponds with the home’s square footage.
– Our most standard home series
Similar to the Focus series, The Heritage series consists of single-story or two-story, single-family style homes. They also have no basement options, making them another affordable option for homebuyers.
– Our most popular home series
A step up, yet very similar to our Heritage series is the Americana. Starting with a larger footprint than the Heritage, The Americana series consists of one or two-story homes, depending on the floor plan and upgrades available. All Americana homes in our Northern Divisions come with a standard unfinished basement, conveniently built with rough-ins for future self-renovating or upgrades through Maronda.
– The pinnacle of our home series
Equipped with more quality included features and square footage than any other series, is the Presidential. As the highest valued series, our Presidential houses consist of two to three stories, with eight to nine-foot floor ceilings, staggered kitchen cabinets with decorative crowns, upgraded baseboards, a soaking tub in the master bath, and brick-to-grade options in the exterior rear. You can easily spot a Presidential floor plan on our website as each one is named after a past President.
We also offer townhome designs in select communities in Ohio. Typically a part of our Heritage or Americana series, our roomy and innovative Townhomes radiate elegance, and sophistication while offering low maintenance and hassle-free living. With two-car garages, multiple bedrooms, and open floor plans, our Townhome designs are as spacious as our single-family home designs.
Maronda Homes has developments with new construction homes in Columbus, and new construction homes in Cincinnati.
