How are water, electricity, sewage, road condition, utilities situation? Any reasons why a work from home worker might not want to live there?
No issues with utilities. Suburbs are better at handling snow removal/road maintenance than Columbus proper.
Utilities are solid and seem much less suspect to outages compared to Seattle, a city I have a lot of experience living in. It's as though having more extreme weather more often ensures that the infrastructure is up to a certain rigor.
Roads are important here, and are well-maintained and addressed (e.g. expect trucks to be salting roads in anticipation for snow storms). Roads are also incredibly well-laid out in an inner/outer belt system that I miss when driving in other cities.
