Benefits of Living in Ohio
So, you’re moving from New York to Ohio. This is a big decision; you’ll need to learn a few things to feel at home there, like the origins of the state’s name. Ohio is derived from the Iroquois ohi-yo, or great river. It also has a plethora of nicknames: “Buckeye State” because of the buckeye trees common in the area; “Mother of Modern Presidents” because seven presidents were born in Ohio; “Heart of it All” because of the state’s shape; and “Birthplace of Aviation” as the birthplace of Wilbur and Orville Wright.
Here are ten more things to know about the Buckeye State before you make the big move.
1. Take Advantage of Ohio’s Cost of Living
Ohio has a cost of living index of 82.6, which is lower than the national average of 100 and much lower than New York’s 120.5. Ohio’s median home price is $140,700, which is also far below the nation’s average of $231.200. However, the state’s low cost of living is balanced out by its high taxes, although they are still slightly lower than New York’s. Ohio ranks 44th in the country in income tax, 39th in property tax, and 32nd in sales and excise taxes. You can save money on your car, though, as Ohio is first in the nation for vehicle tax.
2. Ohio has a Steady Economy
As the 10th most densely populated state in the U.S. with one of the lowest growth rates, the Buckeye State ranks near the middle of the country in terms of poverty and unemployment. Its rate of 4.7% has been on the decline for the last decade and is well under the national rate of 6%. Employment prospects are looking solid for the future, with several Fortune 500 companies are based in Ohio, including Procter & Gamble, Marathon Petroleum, Nationwide Insurance, Macy’s, and Progressive Insurance.

3. Experience Four Seasons
If you’re leaving New York in search of a warmer climate, Ohio is likely to disappoint you. Winters can be bitter, with fierce blizzards and major snow events, particularly if you are close to Lake Erie. On the opposite end of the calendar, summers are often hot and humid with a great deal of rain and frequent storms. You will still experience all four seasons, though, with mild springs and colorful winters across the state.
4. Visit Popular Attractions
There’s no shortage of things to do in Ohio. Hocking Hills State Park offers caves, waterfalls, ziplines, hiking trails and lakes. Cleveland is home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Canton has the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The holidays are a special time in Ohio: the Columbus Zoo with its 9,000 animals puts on an amazing light show, or you can tour the museum at the actual house used in the classic holiday film A Christmas Story.
5. Ohio is Roller Coaster Heaven
Adrenaline junkies rejoice: Ohio is home to two major theme parks with some killer thrill rides. Kings Island’s 364 acres in Mason house more than 80 rides, including The Beast, which the “Guinness Book of World Records” lists as the world’s longest wooden roller coaster. Sandusky’s Cedar Point opened in 1870 on the banks of Lake Erie, making it the second oldest amusement park in the country. Known as the “Roller Coaster Capital of the World,” the park boasts eighteen world-class roller coasters and a larger assortment of rides than anywhere else.

6. You’ll Find Lots of Rabid Sports Fans
Sports are big in Ohio, and Cleveland Browns supporters in particular are notorious for their crazy behavior. A special section in the stadium is designated as the “Dawg Pound,” reserved for the most energetic (and traditionally most intoxicated) fans. Much to the dismay of visiting teams, these rowdy fans have been known to throw eggs, batteries and dog food at their opponents. Fortunately the fan behavior has improved over the years, but their diehard support has remained intense, as has support for the other NFL franchise, the Cincinnati Bengals. Other notable sports in the state include professional baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer.
7. Ohio is a Battleground State
Ohio is known as a battleground, or swing state, which means it could go either Democrat or Republican in any election. As a result, residents are assaulted by political ads during every election season. Politicians regularly visit the state to try to swing Ohioans to their side. Locals are not fond of the endless politicizing, and you can count on lots of crankiness when elections roll around.
8. Try All Sorts of Interesting Food
As a new resident of Ohio, you’ll be expected to try the local delicacies, including buckeye candy made of chocolate-dipped peanut butter fudge that looks like an actual buckeye. Skyline chili, or Cincinnati chili, is another popular dish made of meat, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and chocolate poured on spaghetti noodles and topped with cheddar cheese.
9. Ohio has a Large Amish Population
There are approximately 70,000 members of the Amish community living in Ohio, making up the largest in the world. Visitors traveling the 160 miles of Amish Country Byway are charmed by the simple culture as horses and buggies drive by. Stop for a homemade meal at a local restaurant, or visit one of the many Amish markets known for their handmade treasures, including artisan cheese and chocolate and high-quality woodcraft.
10. Ohio has a Lack of Diversity
Coming from the cultural and ethnic diversity of New York, Ohio will seem very homogenous. Recently ranked as one of the ten least diverse states in the country, the racial makeup is 80% white. Six percent of Ohioans speak a language other than English in the home. The state encourages the growth of diverse populations, and is proud to have one of the highest concentrations of Somali immigrants in the country and a 40% increase in Hispanic residents over the last twenty years.

What others are saying
See what our satisfied customers have to say about their seamless moving experiences with White Glove Moving & Storage.
Simply, I would not recommend using this moving company.
From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and patient. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and were transparent about timelines and costs—no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
We all got to the unit after 6pm ( 8 hours later) as the men started to unload. The first truck was unloaded and packed in storage unit to the brim. When the 2nd truck opened at the loading dock the truck looked like it flipped upside down. All my boxes were crushed and I was horrified. As they started to fill the 2nd unit Marlon approached me and said this unit is not enough space to store the remaining items. I looked at him and said what do we do and he didn’t know, he called the company and they had no idea either. I said how can this happen as their coordinator came to access and told me what was needed. They agreed to hold the items in their truck but will charge me for storage until I can secure yet another unit in the morning.
The next day I spoke with Margaret Lombardi, executive director who told me the company is not responsible to give information on what size unit the customer needs when using self storage? Why does a coordinating rep come and take pics and offer this advice, he never indicated it was up to me and even recommended storage places to use nearby.
Although the movers were professional enough the day was almost 12 hrs for them, they were tired and getting sloppy as time went on, my home was left with debris & the floors were scuffed from moving. I felt the company made me feel this was my fault.
I would never recommend this company even if they were for free!!!!!!
Not only were they fast and meticulous, but they were also friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Truly top-notch service—they went above and beyond. If anyone deserves a raise, it's this crew!
A big shoutout as well to Brittany from the office. She was a dream to work with—proactive, professional, and super efficient. She reached out to me first, stayed in contact via text and email, and made the entire scheduling process seamless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—she handled everything smoothly from start to finish.
We’ve had two flawless experiences with White Glove Movers. No issues, no damage, just exceptional service from a great company with a stellar team. I highly recommend them, especially for long-distance moves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly White Glove Experience – Thank You, Emad & Team!
We recently moved from South Jersey to Sussex County, and choosing White Glove Movers was the best decision we could have made. From the very first conversation, Emad Ezzat was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Emad took the time to understand our needs, answer every question, and provide a clear, fair estimate—no surprises, just honesty and transparency. On moving day, his team arrived exactly on time, fully prepared, and with the kind of positive, can-do attitude that instantly put us at ease.
The crew worked with precision and care, treating every piece of furniture and box as if it were their own. Large, heavy items were handled effortlessly, and fragile belongings were wrapped and packed with meticulous attention. Not a single item was damaged in transit—a true testament to their skill and dedication.
Beyond their professionalism, the team’s courtesy stood out. They were respectful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted in our new home. Moving can be exhausting, but with Emad and his crew, it actually felt organized and under control from start to finish.
If you want a moving company that delivers on every promise, treats your belongings with the utmost care, and makes a stressful process feel effortless, look no further than White Glove Movers. We cannot recommend Emad Ezzat and his outstanding team highly enough!

We found WGM through Peloton, as they are certified to move their bikes and treadmills. Russo came to our apartment and did a walk through weeks prior to our move to give us a quote. This blew us away. How professional!
On the day of our move we had a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. We were moving into a brand new townhome so we were concerned about damaging the walls. They protected everything from plastic on the floors/carpets to cardboard to protect the white walls (see photos).
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail cannot be beat. I highly recommend them with the utmost confidence!

We had the pleasure of working with a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. The team was punctual, extremely hard-working, and incredibly thorough. They paid close attention to every detail, including taping up walls and laying down floor coverings to protect the surfaces of our new townhome. This level of care made all the difference in preserving the condition of our new townhome while moving in.
The team worked efficiently and handled all of our belongings with the utmost respect, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. It was clear that they take great pride in their work, and it truly showed in the care they took throughout the process.
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart from other moving companies. Highly recommend!

Thank you for a great experience.
We have used moving companies in the past, but White Glove is by far the best we have hired. Oscar the foreman led a top-star team, handling a drizzly day without any issues. Nothing broken. Heaviest furniture moved without any complaints. Bravo!
