A small town feeling east of Toledo

An established suburb east of Toledo, Northwood is removed from the noise of Toledo, giving the area a family-focused environment. With around 5,000 residents in the area, the atmosphere is homey, and ranch-style and split-level homes are easy to find for around $200,000. Cozy dive bars like Paddy Joe’s and Penny Jo’s bowling alley give the neighborhood fun spots to gather with family and friends. Lake School District is rated well on Niche, and class sizes are small. Hollywood Casino sits just outside town on the Maumee River, while nature areas like Brentwood Park and Cedar Creek preserve offer great outdoor space with activities like fishing, baseball diamonds, and playgrounds. Locals can shop at Meijer or grab coffee at Biggby, and a 4-mile drive takes them into downtown Toledo.

Midcentury homes with yards space for families

Northwood’s residential areas are laid out in small blocks of gridline streets. “It’s a lot of old development, mostly industrial and residential areas,” says Northwood resident and Wood County Parks communication specialist Jamie Sands. Rows of houses line the area with small green lawns backing right up to the road. Ranch-style brick homes built in the 1920s add to the old-town feel, and single-family homes built in the 1970s are the most common options for homebuyers. Split-levels with garages and just enough yard space for kids to play sell for under $250,000, with most other homes priced around $150,000.

Shopping along Woodville Road

Locals can buy their groceries at the local Meijer or pick up coffee at the popular regional coffee shop Biggby down the road. Woodville Road, which runs through the center of the neighborhood all the way down to Toledo, is the hub of shops and restaurants. Popular chain restaurants like Mcdonald's sit alongside local bars like Paddy Joe’s, which features a beloved poutine and a music bar atmosphere with its band poster décor. Families can host parties down at Penny’s Eastern Freeway Lanes, a bowling alley with a classic feel.

Natural scenery at Cedar Creek Preserve

Just outside of old industrial districts and residential areas is Cedar Creek Preserve, a nature preserve with restored wildlife habitats and old growth trees. “It’s like a green oasis and has become a community meeting hub,” says Jamie Sands. Locals can leave the old factory buildings and house-lined neighborhood streets to walk 2 miles of scenic trails or explore the native plant garden maintained by their neighbors. In fall and spring, visitors may see swarms of monarch butterflies fly through this official monarch way station. Families can enjoy the two playgrounds, or head to the other side of Northwood to Brentwood Park where folks can play baseball on the diamonds or enjoy seasonal events like the Fishing Derby or the music and food-filled Fall Festival.

Four miles from Toledo

Northwood is 4 miles outside of downtown Toledo, with routes via Woodville Road, Interstate 280 and Interstate 75. The Glass City Wall Mural and the Hollywood Casino sit just outside the town alongside the Maumee River, giving residents options for some local sightseeing and recreation. Ten miles away, the shores of Lake Erie offer a taste of beach life within a 15- to 20-minute drive. This whole area of Ohio is very car-reliant, with few sidewalks in residential areas.

Hollywood Casino in Toledo outside of Northwood is the perfect spot to see some local music.

Close-knit local schools

Students can attend the close-knit Northwood Local Schools. With around 900 students in attendance, the district is small, allowing for a sense of community and specialized attention from teachers. Northwood Elementary School, which covers kindergarten through grade 6, is rated B-minus on Niche, and Northwood High School, which teaches grades 7-12 is rated B. While gifted programs are offered, AP courses are not, and the district does not have many extracurricular activities or clubs. Kids can also attend the B-rated Lake Local School District, which offers gifted programs as well as sports, music arts programs, and even an Aviation Academy.
