I grew up there and graduated from OC in the late 80’s.
LaGrange is a nice town, has grown quite a bit since I left in the 90’s. Oldham is really one large bedroom community for Louisville.
OC exploded in growth in the 80’s due Louisville’s decision to start bussing in public schools.
Schools are still good there, mostly conservative county, but is growing slightly more blue by the
Election cycle. There are a handful of parks in the county, including an aquatics center at the park closest to OCHS.
There’s also access to the Ohio River at Westport Park.
Not sure about ranges up that way.
Restaurants are pretty typical chain places, but there are local independent businesses in Lagrange
Hometown Pizza is pretty awesome. Hell I worked there years ago.
Overall, quiet bedroom community, with good schools and housing . Louisville is 20 min away and Cincinnati, I think less than an hour.
Oh yea, I-71 is a shitshow. It should be 6 lanes from downtown to LaGrange, but it’s not. I think the state is supposed to widen the portion in Jefferson county, but that does little to alleviate Oldham traffic. 71 cuts through the upper income areas of Louisville, hence the reason that it’s never been upgraded
