Springboro OH flourishes - 11/3/2020

My husband and I moved to Springboro, OH a year and a half ago. Springboro’s recent growth spurt has resulted in a beautifully diverse community rich in amenities. Fine dining, casual hangouts, a community theater, award winning grocery shops, nice parks, sidewalks to encourage activity and socializing, and national level boutique gems in the historical downtown are just a few of the reasons that make it a wonderful home. Throw in easy access to both Dayton and Cincinnati, and Springboro is quite the hidden treasure.

Springboro - 8/5/2009

I moved into Springboro in 1974 when it had a population of around 4,000. Now we are currently around 17,000 and growing. Springboro is actually a "bedroom" community for Dayton and Cincinnati. With only a few job opportunities in Springboro, the vast majority work in other locations. If you do work outside of Springboro you can only clain up to 1% of your work locations city tax. You must pay Springboro the the difference since Springboro's city tax is higher (1.75%). School levy tax proposals are on ballots all the time. The school board just assumes everyone can affort endless tax increases. The past three levy proposals have been turned down. The growth explosion (over development without a plan)is the major reason. We have very little crime, but our cost of living is increasing because of tax increases. Schools are very good. Traffic can be a problem since Springboro is located right off of I-75 with only one exit. A second exit is currently under construction. If you like stop lights, you will love Springboro. All in all, Springboro is an above average place to live. Not the small Ohio town it use to be, but still better than most areas.
