Eaton is a great community to raise a family, specifically in Lakengren. Low crime rates, in Lakengren. Though in town there is a bit of drug problem. It seems like that is every where you go in Ohio though. The schools are great, my children are doing awesome. The neighborhood is nice, and most people are so friendly. It's small town American, a small quiet little country town where every body knows every body.
Avoid the Taco Bell in town. But definitely visit Big Dawgz on the lake in Lakengren. Lakegren is a HOA gated lake side community in Eaton that is amazing to raise a family. There is a beach, a pool, a marina, a lodge, volleyball courts, etc. I could go on and on about this amazing place.
