Residential blocks feature mature trees and long driveways

Running through the middle of Ross, the main thoroughfare has many of the local businesses, while grid-style blocks and winding roads surround it for a mostly residential feel. The yards tend to be on the larger side and have mature trees to shade long driveways. “They have many older, historical homes from the 1800s. The small ones are on the affordable side,” says Realtor Chhabi Neopaney with Key Realty, LTD and eight years of experience in the area. Architectural styles include Georgian homes featuring Doric columns, Cape Cods, ranch-style houses and farmhouses with covered front porches. Sales prices can range from $215,000 for a ranch-style to $537,500 for a Georgian house.

Parks and trails offer water access and scenic exercise spots

“It’s a quiet, rural area with many parks. There’s a lot of nature and water recreation for people who like to exercise,” Neopaney says. Visit Heritage Park for the Miami River experience from kayak access points to hiking and biking on paths beside the water. On a summer’s day, you can also bring your water shoes and go swimming.

Marsh Park, you can go fishing at a stocked pond or take a stroll on a short out-and-back trail.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
