Learn morePro: a real, top-ranked Perrysburg Schools district
Perrysburg Schools ranks #1 in the Toledo Area on Niche (4.45/5, #17 statewide) with 84%/84% math/reading proficiency -- a genuine, top-tier academic reputation among this project's Ohio Tier B markets.
Pro: a real, distinct historic-and-corporate identity
The real 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers site sits nearby along the Maumee River, and O-I Glass Inc.'s real corporate headquarters (the world's largest glass container manufacturer) anchors local employment.
Con: a notably high, disclosed effective property tax rate
Perrysburg's effective property tax rate (2.03%) is the highest in Wood County, well above the county's own broader range and Ohio's statewide average -- substantially driven by the top-ranked school district's own levies.
Con: housing and rent run above Toledo-area and statewide averages
Perrysburg's housing figures ($338,606-$434,000) run above Ohio's statewide average, with a real, disclosed recent softening signal in median sale price, and rent runs meaningfully above Toledo's own core-city rate.
