I can't speak to the job market, but the housing market is completely in the buyer's favour, and what will net you a wee condo here will practically net you a farm there.
Columbus is awesome, but do not rule out the Cincinnati area. Which is also close enough to Kentucky horse country that there are a lot of horses and horse-folk, if you're up for that sort of large-animal thing. (And the dogs and cats that go with barns like icing goes with cupcakes.) Also the area right around Kenyon College is quite lovely, and the area around Oberlin is actually a lot like Amherst. Both Kenyon and Oberlin are excellent small liberal-arts universities that have a surprisingly wide range of jobs. (See also Wittenberg, Wesleyan, and Miami, which is a rather larger school.)
