One of Dayton's latest up-and-comers
Compared to the other neighborhoods that surround downtown Dayton, College Hill stands out for its sheer variety. Historic homes seamlessly mingle with midcentury designs, creating an eclectic and colorful atmosphere that's been attracting attention in recent years. "The architecture is special for someone who likes older homes," says Miranda Biedenharn of Comey & Shepard Realtors, who's served the area for over 20 years. "It's an area I tell people to keep an eye on; it's going to become popular in the coming years."

A diversity of houses
With the median year for homes built at 1949, the community itself is on the younger side, with a wide diversity of house designs to show for it. Colonial, ranch and Craftsman-style homes make neighbors with Cape Cods, American Foursquares and bungalows. Mature trees provide shade for sidewalks that line modest, sloped front lawns. Driveways and garages are standard, keeping most streets free of parked cars. Though many homes require renovation, they are still largely well-maintained and less expensive than other communities. "It's a good time to get in on the area, with prices being lower than surrounding neighborhoods," says Biedenharn. A fixer-upper bungalow can start in the mid-$50,000s, while a renovated Cape Cod can hit the low-$100,000s. A well-maintained Colonial will reach the high $100,000s, and a fully renovated Tudor will sit in the low $200,000s.
