Carillon
Suburban Neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio
Montgomery County 45417
Classic Cape Cods on Smith Street
The majority of Carillon's 350 homes occupy the center of the neighborhood, where the expansive lots and generous greenspaces foster a sense of openness, offering plenty of opportunities for all three generations of Carillon residents to take advantage of the long driveways, detached garages, urban gardens and sandlot-style playgrounds. Carillon's homes are primarily two-story frame houses and brick Cape Cods. With home prices ranging from the mid-$40,000s to the mid-$180,000s, the neighborhood attracts a variety of new residents, including first-time homebuyers, downsizing empty-nesters and UD graduate students. Most homes boast sizable outdoor living spaces – including porches and covered patios – from which residents can hear the din of cheers pouring from the nearby University of Dayton stadiums.

Learn to ride at Dayton Bike Yard
The southern part of the neighborhood is filled with opportunities to get outside and have some fun. Residents walk to the University of Dayton's athletic campus to cheer on the Dayton Flyers as they play Division I football, basketball and soccer. They pass through Welcome Park, a 13-acre public park in the neighborhood's southwest corner. In 2021, Dayton contracted with the International Biking Association to design Dayton Bike Yard, a state-of-the-art adventure bike park with bike trails, jumps and training courses for all skill levels.

Catch the big game at Welcome Stadium
Though the University of Dayton's academics are across the river, its athletics programs live and breathe in Carillon. As the home of Welcome Stadium, the University of Dayton Arena and Woerner Field, the neighborhood hosts athletic competitions of every stripe practically year-round, with football, baseball and basketball giving all sports fans a reason to cheer.

Walk the Great Miami River Recreation Trail
One mile south of the Dayton City Center, Carillon is close to Interstate 75 and U.S. Route 35. The neighborhood provides easy access to points throughout the city by vehicle and public transportation. The Dayton RTA bus line allows access to almost anywhere in the city and surrounding area at $2 per ride. When trying to beat the traffic, residents walk along the Great Miami River Recreation Trail – a 93-mile multi-use trail hugging the banks of the river – to quickly access a variety of dining, entertainment and shopping spaces. "We're a walkable community. You can walk across the bridge, and you're at the University of Dayton. You can even walk downtown, about a two or three-mile walk." Buchanan pauses, then laughs, "But I'm a three-mile walker."Historial beer at the Carillon Brewing Company
Fast food chains like Hardee's and Subway are all easily accessible, and a Walmart Supercenter can be found 3 miles south in neighboring Moraine. Carillon Historical Park offers a glimpse at 1850s-era Dayton through the historically authentic menu of Carillon Brewing Company, the nation's only brewery within a museum. Brewmasters don period costumes and replicate the historic brewing process alongside their European comfort food menu. The northern district of the Carillon neighborhood consists of several small businesses, medical facilities and community centers. The Carillon Civic Council actively engages with these local organizations to provide community outreach and involvement through partnerships with the University of Dayton, St. Vincent de Paul and local museums like the British Transportation Museum and Carillon Historical Park.
