I have only been to Greensboro a few times and I liked it.
Akron is more of an old school rustbelt city. We looked closely at moving to the area in 2019 and I'm glad we didn't. It's cheaper to live there, but the weather is worse than in Columbus and it's too close to Cleveland for my liking.
I've spent a lot of time in Columbus, and I was very impressed. Not sure how viable 2 acres are there now that they are getting the semiconductor companies. Costs of living will be higher than the other places. It's the polar opposite of Cincy and Cleveland. It's a predominantly white collar city, and politically mixed. Columbus would be my choice. My wife likes the shopping there and they have a solid restaurant scene. It's sort of like Austin in the midwest, but less forced/fake. The New Albany area is about to explode with growth. But the Dublin area is very nice and traffic isn't too bad. People are sort of friendly.

This seems to be a trend with recommending Columbus. From everything I've observed from a distance, Columbus certainly seems like the best overall city. However, we moved to an up and coming city in 2017 and we are priced out now. I'd like to avoid that again if possible.
And this may be lost on some, but the energy from the new people in Boise can get.....exhausting? People here are ready to live life and go out and experience the town, and you can feel it in the air on Friday/Saturday nights. I used to like it, but we are kinda done with that.
Akron may be a bit too depressing, but Greensboro is looking nicer nicer. It does have a nice proximity to many things. Durham is close and I actually like Durham. Charlotte isn't far, there are sports all around. Shortish trip to Wilmington. Land prices are a bit higher, but they are also nicer.
I worry about the dreariness of Ohio as well.
