Lima, Ohio: Patriotic Pride 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I love living in Lima, Ohio because it's full of friendly inviting people.

The best thing about living in Lima is the low cost of living. The home prices are very reasonable. I absolutely love my neighborhood because it is quiet and neighborly. It was very easy for me to make friends quickly when I moved here because it is very common for the neighbors to talk to one another.

In the summer, I love to golf at Hidden Creek Golf Club. It not only has beautiful green, but the prices are very reasonable. Golf is not for everyone, but there are other things to do such as shop at the Lima Mall, or take a stroll downtown and visit Alter Ego Comics store or different boutiques. Read Less
