Houston offers the easy pace of rural living with quick access to larger hubs, making it a practical choice for families and anyone seeking space to breathe. Set amid rolling fields in Shelby County, the community sits a short drive from job centers, dining, and healthcare in Sidney, plus additional shopping and entertainment in Piqua and festival-filled weekends in Fort Loramie. Local businesses, youth sports, and church events give daily life a friendly rhythm, while big-sky sunsets and quiet roads are part of the backdrop.
Education is a standout. The Hardin-Houston Local School District serves students on a single campus, building strong relationships across grades and families, with robust academics, arts, and athletics. Older students can tap into career-tech programs at the nearby Upper Valley Career Center, expanding pathways into trades, healthcare, and engineering without a long commute.
Recreation leans outdoors. A short trip brings you to Lake Loramie State Park for boating, fishing, winter adventures, and miles of trails. Seasonal traditions abound, from county fairs to the nationally known Country Concert just down the road, while historic canal towns and farm markets add weekend variety.
Housing ranges from classic farmhouses and ranches to newer builds on acreage, giving buyers plenty of room for gardens, workshops, and hobbies.
