I lived in dayton my whole life. There are quite a diverse types of neighborhoods.
Where will they be working, what level of housing prices, kids in school?
I grew up in Beavercreek
Dayton is NOT doing well financially. GM pulled out, NCR left, Reynolds and Reynolds scaled back a huge amount as well as WPAFB. The last 10 years have been hard on dayton.
I however had a great childhood, and would move back to be near my entire family. Yards are bigger, You can get more house for less money.. You just have to know whwer to shop.
That being said The High End neighborhoods are 175-300K+ houses- Bellbrook, Centerville, Beavercreek, Oakwood and Parts of Vandalia...
Middle of the road upper/middle income area- parts of Oakwood, Kettering and parts of fairborn.125-175K,
Lower Income but still decent- 70-140K Kettering, Fairborn, Huber Heights, Miamsburg
Lower Income- slightly shady but has decent areas if you are willing to look, Xenia, Huber Heights, Riverside, belmont, West Carrolton
Countryesque Living areas, Waynesville, Xenia, Springboro
The south side of Dayton is DEFINITLY preferable to the North-west side of dayton
Ask me anything. I have knowledge.
You can get to ANY of the Suburbs of Dayton from central dayton in 15-20 mins.
Traffic in Dayton. If its not rush hour, don't worry about it.
I use 675 for just about everything i do in dayton, or 35, I avoid 75, its such a clusterfuck of construction all the time..
