A rural city along the Maumee River
Every summer, colorful lights from the Ferris wheel and funhouses illuminate the night sky over Napoleon. The Henry County Fair attracts over 50,000 visitors, with rides, horse shows, live music and petting zoos. For the rest of the year, the city’s roughly 9,000 residents experience a quiet life with access to retail necessities and employers like the world’s largest Campbell’s Company plant, which is the area's top employers. “It was a great place to grow up,” says Realtor Alicia Long, who sells homes with Howard Hanna. “Everybody knows everybody here, and there is a real feeling of trust among the residents.” Napoleon’s small-town aesthetic shows in its well-preserved downtown, where the most eye-catching structure is the Henry County Courthouse, a Second Empire-style building topped with an 1880s statue of Lady Justice.

Relatively affordable homes
The median single-family home price is $180,000, well below the state and national median prices. Prices range from $130,000 to $500,000. South of Woodlawn Avenue, homebuyers will find ranch-style homes built from the 1950s through the ‘80s and several Contemporary-style homes from the ‘90s. North of the avenue, there is a mix of ranch-style homes and early 1900s bungalows. South of the Maumee River, the streets are lined with ranch-styles, early 20th-century homes and newly built Contemporaries. Due to the city's low elevation and proximity to the Maumee River, many neighborhoods throughout the city experience a high flood risk.

Along West Riverview Avenue, there are more local options, including a rustic barbecue spot and a pizza place. Perry Street has adjoined Victorian-style buildings that hold hometown dive bars, a distillery and Spengler’s, a 135-year-old pub. “People go to the bigger cities for shopping trips or chain restaurants, but most people prefer the local businesses to the big chains anyway,” Long says.
