Airport is a 4-mile drive

"One of the biggest draws about the community is its proximity to the airport," says Realtor Jeffrey Studer with the Danberry Company who has recently sold two homes here.

I like living in Swanton. It is close to Toledo where there is a lot to do, but is also more quiet than a busy city. I know a lot of people who live here and everyone is really friendly. It is a safe community and we live in a nice neighborhood. My family all lives within a half hour of me. I have an easy commute to college at BGSU and to my part time jobs.

The weather here is annoying, but you get used to it after awhile. Well, maybe not. In my opinion, the school system is good and may get better after they add on to the schools this summer.

This small town has a charismatic charm and altruistic denizens. The vibe of this town is extremely friendly and safe. There are not very many places to shop but the kindness of its citizens more than make up for what it is lacking commercially. The park is a fantastic place to explore and just going for a walk is a great experience in practicing self-care.

Crime is very low in our area, and it is comforting when walking down main street because it feels safe. The police are around and are commonly seen, and they get along well with the people here, so it is a decent amount of visibility.
