The state of Ohio is steeped in history and working-class American charm. Known as “The Buckeye State” due to its high concentration of buckeye trees, Ohio has been the birthplace of seven former US presidents as well as the location of the Wright Brothers’ early experiments in aviation. Aside from its major cities of Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati having played a major role in America’s industrial history, the state is also a leading agricultural hub, producing large amounts of soybeans and corn. Between its quaint, rural towns and bustling cities, Ohio is a diverse state with something to offer everyone and is a great place to retire.

Depending on how the community is structured, residents need to be at least 55 or 62 years old. Ohio independent living communities must also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Landlords and property managers have to provide reasonable accommodations or modifications, such as the following:[02]
