Country living
Situated along a southern stretch of Ohio countryside, Madison Township offers relaxed rural living. Residents live on spacious, often multiacre, lots surrounded by densely wooded areas and farmland. "Anyone who loves the outdoors will love it here,” says Jack Suter, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services who lives in the community. “It's for people who don't want to live in a city — they'd rather relax around a firepit,” he adds. Despite the remote vibe of the community, its proximity to downtown Middletown gives residents easy access to a more bustling commercial area. Whether residents were originally drawn to the community for its recreation or small-town vibe, “it's the kind of place where people hold on to their homes for a long time," Suter says.

"You'll find a little bit of everything here — vintage country homes with acreage to newer homes on corner lots," Suter says. Particularly popular in the community are ranch-styles and small single-story cottages with quaint front porches. There are also a number of new traditional '90s builds and some farmhouse-inspired properties. Prices typically range from $160,000 to just over $760,000, largely depending on acreage and the property's size and condition. There are also lots for sale for those interested in building a custom home. Prospective residents should be aware that some homes — mainly those around the Great Miami River and its tributaries — receive high Flood Factor Scores.

Walking, fishing and golfing
Elk Creek MetroPark's gently sloping meadowland has transformed from what was once a golf course into a relaxing walking destination. Since "we don't really have sidewalks," says Teresa Hall, a Realtor with Keller Williams Community Partners who lives in the area, many people explore the community's green spaces for some time outside. At the nearby Sebald MetroPark, folks come to cool off in the creek during warm weather while children explore the playground. Anglers can catch catfish at Stoney Meadows Lake or the Great Miami River. Others take advantage of the Middletown Sportsmen's Club, which features everything from a stocked fishing lake to a sporting clay course for those wanting to practice their aim. Golfers here can check out the 18-hole Brown's Run, while soccer players often check out the Madison Township Community Park. The green space is even home to Blanton Log Cabin, a property dating back to 1833.

For classic pub fare, locals can swing by Madison Inn Bar & Grill, where live bands often entertain the crowd while they eat.

From there, students often go to C-plus-rated Madison Middle, where many participate in sports like basketball and volleyball.
