What it’s like
The place. Spring Valley is a very small village in Greene County, Ohio, where everyone is likely to know the neighbors. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and homes here are valued well above what is typical for much of the country. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops and government. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Wright State University and Greene County itself. The drive to work is fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Caesar Creek State Park and the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument, a museum, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, the National Museum of the United States Air Force is one of the best known museums in the region, and Kings Island, an amusement park, is a longer drive as well.
