Eastern Hills has relatively budget-friendly homes and quick commutes
Marking where Dayton's city limits meet some of the metro area's more expensive suburbs, Eastern Hills is an established neighborhood shaped by rolling hills, relatively affordable housing and quick highway access. Residential areas offer spacious early to mid-20th-century homes that aren't as costly as options in nearby Riverside, Beavercreek and Fairborn. Residents are within walking distance of schools and parks, and drivers have a reliable commute to Downtown Dayton or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Local watering holes and restaurants invite people to hang out and dine close to home, but popular commercial destinations are never too far away, either.
Eastern Hills is a laidback suburban area bordering Highway 35.
Commuters are a quick drive from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Explore the neighborhood’s hilly streets and 20th-century homes
Eastern Hills is all about variety. Residential streets often have a mix of flat and elevated lots. Homes can date back to the early 1900s or to the 1990s. Architectural styles are also unique, ranging from Cape Cods and bungalows to American Foursquares, Dutch Colonials and ranch-style homes. The community has several multifamily homes and the historic Lewis Kemp House, Dayton's oldest surviving residence.
American Foursquares are a common architectural style in the area.
Many residents keep their early to mid-20th-century homes in good shape.

Home prices in Eastern Hills are steadily attracting more buyers
The community is moderately split between renters and owners. However, owner-occupancy is rising as nearby housing markets and residents' needs slowly shift. "Especially in the last five years, first-time homebuyers with two or three kids need square footage but can no longer afford to be in the suburbs, so they're looking at places like Eastern Hills where they can get quite a bang for their buck," says Adam Martin, Realtor with Bella Realty Group. "Also, just in the last year, I've seen a good number of recent college graduates who are buying properties here with a friend. They were probably going to live together anyway, and it can be cheaper for them to buy a house and have that equity together than to rent." While there are still plenty of rental options, buyers can find many turnkey properties selling between the low $100,000s and the low $200,000s.
Students can walk or bike to Dayton elementary and middle schools
Eastern Hills is part of the Dayton Public Schools district. Many kids walk or bike to Kemp Elementary School, which is inside the community, or to Wright Brothers Middle School nearby. Families can also send students to private schools through local voucher programs or public options in the Mad River Local Schools district during the annual open enrollment period.
The neighborhood surrounds Kemp Elementary School, a Dayton public school.
Many local students can walk to Wright Brothers Middle School in neighboring Wright View.

Play a game of pickup basketball at Pinewood Park.
Spend the day at local parks or biking the Creekside Trail
After school and on weekends, families can take their kids to Pinewood Park, next to Kemp Elementary School, to run around the playground. Neighboring areas offer other parks, like:
Orville Wright Park, which has a dense wooded area to explore
Washington Playground, which also has sports fields and a seasonal splash pad
Overlook Mutual Trails, which has forest paths and dirt jumps for BMX bikers
For a relaxing trail hike or long-distance bike ride, hop onto the Creekside Trail. This 15-mile path connects to other popular trails and to Eastwood MetroPark, known for its lakes and access to the Mad River.
Highway 35 offers short commutes to key Dayton destinations
While sidewalks and the Creekside Trail make the neighborhood more pedestrian-friendly, most people rely on cars to get around. Highway 35 offers a quick 4-mile commute to downtown Dayton, and drivers are about 8 miles, or 20 minutes, from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a major employer for the city.
Pettibone Coffee is a very popular spot for a cup of coffee and a study session.
Linden Avenue restaurants and nearby retail centers draw steady crowds
Martin says that downtown is the central hub for shopping and dining, but certain local hangouts still attract crowds. "It's more budget conscious," Martin says. "Going out downtown is not cheap, at all." You're just across the highway from the popular restaurants lining Linden Avenue and a quick drive from Airway Shopping Center. "It has this cool little coffee shop called Pettibone," says Kerry Santiago, Realtor at Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors. "You wouldn't know it because parking is around back, but it's always packed. You'll often see a lot of military employees and college students in there."

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
