Twin Towers
Suburban Neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio
Montgomery County 45410
Turn-of-the-century historic homes
Local homes tend toward a historic bent, with some constructed as early as the late 1800s. This, combined with the right skills and elbow grease, can make for stunning restorations at best and shuttered derelicts at worst. Cape Cods, bungalows, Craftsman and Stick style homes are the most common, with Colonial and Tudor styles occasionally appearing. Driveways are uncommon, as are sizeable front yards. Wide sidewalks connect most residential areas, making the community reasonably walkable. A fixer-upper Craftsman can start in the mid-$30,000s, while a renovated Stick style home can reach the mid-$90,000s. A bungalow with a fenced-in backyard and driveway will run in the mid-$100,000s.

Community gardens at Lincoln Gardens
The gently sloping hills of Highland Park are a popular spot for sports, picnics and sledding in the winter. At nearly 15 acres of vast open green space, this community park features a baseball diamond, playground equipment and a fenced-in dog park. Lincoln Gardens features a series of community gardens run by the Mission of Mary Cooperative, which rents out raised garden beds to locals so they can grow their own produce.

Diverse communities, diverse schools
Ohio’s Open Enrollment policy states that parents can decide which schools are best for their children beyond designated school districts. A student could begin their education at Ruskin Elementary School, which has a C-minus and a student body that truly reflects the local community. “There are 21 different languages spoken at Ruskin—it’s that diverse,” says Leslie Sheward. From there, students can continue on to Stivers School for the Arts, which has a B-plus. The Miami Valley Childcare Development Center is currently under construction and will begin serving the preschoolers of Twin Towers and Bomberger in 2025.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
