MacFarlane Home for Rent

MacFarlane is a longstanding residential neighborhood just west of Downtown Dayton. It's currently undergoing a bit of a revitalization, driven largely by community initiatives and business investments, making it increasingly appealing to first-time homebuyers and investors. The neighborhood features a variety of historical homes, including Cape Cod, Craftsman, and American Foursquare styles, many over 100 years old. While these properties offer old-timey charm, they often require significant renovation. The surrounding area is generally walkable, with worn sidewalks connecting homes to local commercial zones. Street parking is common. MacFarlane is located less than 2 miles from Downtown , so residents have easy access to the city's top bars and restaurants. Miami Valley Hospital is 4 miles to the east and Dayton International Airport 14 miles north. Greater Dayton RTA bus lines serve the neighborhood, mostly connecting to either Downtown or west Dayton. Locals can pick up groceries and amenities at Save Food Supermarket and Westown Shopping Center, or grab a bite to eat at Shark's Fish and Chicken. Burkham Center Park provides green space with playgrounds, basketball courts and picnic areas, while the Paul Laurence Dunbar House offers literary history tours. Ohio’s Open Enrollment policy allows students to attend schools outside their local district. Community organizations like the Dakota Center support local residents with after-school programs and social activities.
