XP: Anyone familiar with Toledo?

Fi is looking into a job opportunity that would require us to relocate to Toledo.  We've been looking at rentals online and are having a hard time figuring out what areas are the best to live in.  Ideally I would like to live in a suburb, but wouldn't mind living in Toledo if the area was nice and safe.  If anyone is familiar with the area I would love some advice/direction/ideas of places to look into.  

We are looking into either renting a house or an apt/townhouse so long as it includes a washer and dryer and lets us bring our small dog. 

TIA!!!

    I live in Monroe and travel to Toledo a lot for shopping (they have a great mall) and going out to eat. I don't know of areas in Toledo to look at, but have you checked out Lambertville, Mi? DH's cousin lives there and it's a really nice area, just a few minutes from Toledo.

    Good luck!

    My brother lives in Toledo.  I'll ask him today what he thinks the pros and cons are vs. living in metro Detroit.  

    He has lived there for at least the last 5 years and I don't really hear too many complaints from him.

    Lambertville is a great place to live, the one thing to watch is the dual income tax thing- Michigan and Ohio, not quite sure how that works, if you have to file returns in both states.

    I also know that Sylvania ( just west of Toledo) is a very nice area, I have some friends down there and it is gorgeous.

    We live in a townhouse is downtown Toledo and we LOVE living in Toledo.  I'm very familiar with the city and suburbs so let me know once you find some places your looking at or the area and I can help advise.  Sylvania is very nice, but more pricey of an area.  Perrysburg and Maumee are both very good suburbs and growing like crazy.  Northwood and Oregon are good too, smaller suburbs.  In actual Toledo, it's here and then depending on the area, of what is good.  Or there is a board for Toledo too were you can get even more information I'm sure.  Can you say were the job opportunity may be???
