About Laura

Tucked into the rolling farmland of Miami County, Laura is a quiet village in western Ohio with around 400 residents. Surrounded by open fields and the waters of Ludlow Creek, it offers a peaceful country setting northwest of Dayton. The community got its start in the mid-1800s, named after the daughter of the first postmaster, and it has kept that relaxed rural character ever since.

Day-to-day life here moves at a gentle pace with easy access to nearby hubs. Local students attend the Milton-Union school district in neighboring West Milton, and regional roads make commuting into Troy, Englewood, or Dayton simple for work and errands. For buyers looking for wide-open skies, quiet country roads, and a tight-knit community, Laura is a welcoming spot to call home.
