Dayton View Triangle
Historic Neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio
Montgomery County 45406
The city's history lives on in the homes
Dayton View Triangle is a highly walkable neighborhood with unique architecture and pieces of history at every turn. Most homes are incredibly intact for being built in the 1920s, as dedicated homeowners meticulously maintain their historic character. "Each house is individual, and most have unique features like exposed beams and hardwood picture frame floors," Roberts says. "You've got everything from clay tile roofs to slate." The community has single-family English Tudors sitting beside Art Deco-style houses, English country cottages and even eclectic Mediterranean-style stucco properties. Bungalows, ranch-style homes, Dutch Colonials and stately Georgian estates also make it into the mix. Prices range between $70,000 and $220,000 depending on a home's square footage, upkeep and renovation needs. Well-kept, lush lawns are adorned with flowering shrubs and garden beds, and maple tree-lined sidewalks offer privacy and tranquility. "Some of the areas have ornamental lanterns along the street," Roberts says. "Instead of a traditional metal pole light, you have vintage-looking black ornamental iron lampposts." The neighborhood also has a rolling hill landscape, meaning some homes are perched atop their lots while their neighbors sit flatly beside them.

ZAPP Park pays tribute to funk pioneers
Tucked between residential streets are several small green spaces called parklets. Some are purely for visual green space, while others feature gardens, historical plaques and benches. ZAPP Park is an example of this, as it is the former site of Troutman Sound Labs, the recording studio of Dayton funk pioneer Roger Troutman, who formed his band, Zapp, in 1978. A sculpture and mural were constructed at the park in his honor. At the center of the neighborhood, Omega Campus Playground offers an expansive space for kids to play. Walking trails wind throughout the Omega campus, which also houses the Dayton Children's Pediatrics Hope Center, Omega Baptist Church and The Urban Leadership Academy, a prominent seminary. Less than 1 mile south, Northwest Recreation Center has a heated indoor swimming pool and community programming for all ages.

Fairview Elementary focuses on giving back
Served by the Dayton Public School District, students have many choices under the city's school choice program. However, many kids attend Fairview Elementary just north of the neighborhood. With a D-plus Niche rating, the school hosts regular math and literacy nights, as well as donation drives for its MLK Day of Service program. Next, students attend E J Brown Middle School and Meadowdale Career Technology Center, both of which have C-minus Niche ratings. Meadowdale offers eight specialized career programs, from digital design to surgical technology.

The Dayton View Triangle Federation preserves and plans
The neighborhood association, Dayton View Triangle Federation, strives to preserve its history and keep residents involved. The organization hosts a walking tour of the Dayton View Historic District, an area filled with 219 houses and other buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These include an English Gothic church, the Harvard Boulevard Pump House, various carriage houses, Queen Annes, Neoclassical homes, a Jacobean-style Tudor, a Chateauesque-style mansion and an Italian Renaissance property. Beyond that, the association promotes several events, from its annual Harvest Fest and the city's beloved Pumpkin Glow on Stoddard Avenue every Halloween to parklet planting days and pop-up music festivals. Houses of worship in and around the neighborhood also play integral roles in the community by providing resources, from healthcare to food drives, to the underserved and underprivileged.

Salem Avenue is a direct line to downtown
Salem Avenue is the neighborhood's main thoroughfare to Downtown Dayton and the University of Dayton, which are both within 4 miles. Drivers pass by Kettering Health Hospital on the way to Interstate 75, roughly 2 miles away. Residents also quickly get around via the Dayton Regional Transit Authority, and Dayton International Airport is just 8 miles north.Shopping and dining along the diagonal border, Salem Avenue
Restaurants along Salem Avenue include Happy's Pizza, JJ Fish & Chicken and Taqueria Los 3 Camachos. Groceries are under 2 miles in either direction, with a Kroger in the north and Gem City Market to the south. Roberts describes it as a community-owned supermarket because it was built by and gives back to all the communities in the northwest. The co-op provides fresh produce and pantry staples, but it also features a teaching kitchen, an inclusive community space and a mini health clinic. For more options, Downtown Dayton offers diverse dining, from casual eateries to upscale dining. Flying Pizza has served Sicilian-style slices since 1971, while Bar Granada's colorfully lit exterior invites customers to enjoy street tacos by the river. Downtown is also home to various historical sites and entertainment venues, from the Packard Museum to the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center.
