Eastern Hills stays connected while respecting its space
More spacious than downtown Dayton but still nearby, Eastern Hills gives residents suburban living without compromising on everyday conveniences. Retail centers in and around the neighborhood cater to people's shopping and dining needs, and the community is centrally located between recreational hotspots and schools. Military personnel are a few miles from a massive Air Force base, a major employer for the city. Highway access to the south connects drivers to the greater metro area.
Picking up coffee at the packed Pettibone
Inside the neighborhood, Pinewood Plaza offers a few commercial options, like a Family Dollar, a Cato Fashions and a few fast-food restaurants. The nearest grocery store is the Kroger off Woodman Drive. Less than 1 mile away, Airway Shopping Center is home to the Far East Korean grocery store, a Big Lots for discount goods and locally owned eateries. "There's this cool little coffee shop not far from Kroger called Pettibone. You wouldn't know it because parking is around back, but it's always packed," says Kerry Santiago, Realtor at Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors who's sold all over Dayton. "You'll often see a lot of military employees and college students in there, and they have these signature sandwiches like the Simple Sammy and Hot Honey Grilled Cheese. Across the street, there's an Ohio icon — the Esther Price Candies chocolate shop. It originated here and now has stores all over Dayton." Other popular spots surrounding the neighborhood include Hasty Tasty Pancake House, El Gallo Cocina Mexicana and Joe's Pizzeria, which has served the community since 1959.
Pettibone Coffee is a very popular spot for Eastern Hills residents to visit.
Hasty Tasty Pancake House has been serving Eastern Hills residents for over 40 years.

Home to the oldest residence in Dayton
Most of Eastern Hills follows the same format: cars park along the streets, sidewalks separate lawns from roads and narrow walkways lead up to covered porches. However, many roads have elevated lots, perching half the community's properties atop little personal hills. Across the entire neighborhood, home styles range from one- to one-and-a-half-story Cape Cods, American Foursquares, bungalows, Dutch Colonials and duplexes. The community is also home to apartment complexes and the historic Lewis Kemp homestead. This saltbox-style house is Dayton's oldest surviving residence, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. While plenty of homes are from the mid-1900s, "most homes were built right around or right after the 1913 flood. It shaped the whole way Dayton was built," says Lisa Goris-May, Realtor with Glasshouse Realty Group who's sold all over the city. Single-family prices range between $100,000 and $200,000, while multi-family homes cost as much as $300,000.
The Eastern Hills Community Council ensures its residents stay involved. It also strives to keep improving the neighborhood by planning park restoration projects, community cleanup days and holiday celebrations.

Hitting the water at Eastwood MetroPark
Eastern Hills has a few green spaces around the community. Pinewood Park shares recreational amenities with Kemp Elementary School. Kids play together on the playground or start a pickup soccer game on the park's wide-open field. The nearby Orville Wright Park also offers open space to play, and Overlook Mutual Trails lets BMX bikers master dirt jumps and winding forested paths. Hikers and pet owners prefer Creekside Trail, a 15-mile paved trail that connects to Eastwood MetroPark. Here, anglers cast a line at Mad River while people boat around Eastwood Lake or bring binoculars to spot soaring bald eagles. The Buckeye and North Country trails also pass through here as part of a 1,440-mile loop surrounding Ohio.
For a bit of education and entertainment, residents are 3 miles from the National Museum of the US Air Force. Although located on the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the museum is open to the public. As the world's largest military aviation museum, visitors admire over 360 aircraft and missiles, thousands of military artifacts and seasonal special exhibits.
