About
Life in Maumee
The median home value sits around $194,500 and median household income is $80,833, so you're looking at an affordable cost of living compared to most metros, with a short 19.5-minute average commute that makes actual weekday life manageable. The city sits right along the Maumee River about 10 miles southwest of Toledo, so you get access to a larger job market if you need it, though the local employment picture has shifted—St. Luke's Hospital, a major employer, closed in 2023, so you'll want to understand what job opportunities drew you here before committing.
