Toledo Overview

"Toledo, Ohio, located on the Maumee River and just north of the Great Black Swamp giving it the nickname “Frog Town,” is one of the best-kept secrets in the United States. It is rich in culture, history, outdoor activities, and it all comes at a low cost of living. The friendly down-to-earth locals represent the city’s attitude and slogan “You will do better in Toledo."" Toledo is also known for its roots in the glass industry as the “Glass City” and home of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza with a 50-by-4 foot glass mural as a reminder that Toledo is the center of the glass industry. With so much history and fun to be had by residents, it's no wonder so many find their perfect home among the many options in Toledo apartments."
