I have a real estate brokerage in the north suburbs. The area betwen Cincinnati & Dayton is a model for urban sprawl- it will be one metroplex within the next five years, so stay away from the I-75 corridor.

Warren county is the fastest growing county in the state. Avoid most of it, although you might find some peace in the northeast corner of the county.

Western Butler county is still pretty rural, Ross, Okeana. Nice rolling hills. I'd look here first. Not a bad commute downtown either.

Eastern Clermont county is mostly undeveloped, but has a more appalachian flavor... and a lot of meth labs.

Southeastern Indiana has lots of space, and IN is generally a little more progressive than OH. The new Honda plant is causing property values to rise along the I-74 corridor.
