Founded in 1823, this Butler County township is celebrating its bicentennial year. With Cincinnati to the south and Dayton to the north, residents can enjoy the quiet of suburban life in the Midwest without the high prices of its urban neighbors.
Those with an itch to shop don’t have to travel far: Liberty Center mall sits at the township’s north end, and outdoor shopping center The Streets of West Chester offers plenty of retail options for everyone in the family.
A community spirit binds residents together in this small Ohio town, fostered by organizations that give back to those most in need. The volunteers at West Chester Raskals, for instance, focus on improving the lives of area seniors, thus fulfilling the group’s acronymic name (and mission): random acts of simple kindness affecting local seniors.—AS
