Five Oaks is a family-friendly historic community
Five Oaks is a historic Dayton neighborhood known for its architectural styles, state-of-the-art hospital and connections to surrounding neighborhoods. Homes in the community's historic district are carefully preserved, but renovations and infill construction are welcome in the neighborhood. Residents are within walking distance of charter schools, city attractions and annual celebrations like the Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow. Downtown Dayton is a short drive or bus ride away.
The neighborhood has preserved homes and upcoming projects
"Five Oaks is a sort of hip place that's known for its variety of old homes and ornate architecture," says Kerry Santiago, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors. "You can find everything from high-end homes to a total re-do." Architectural styles vary, with the neighborhood offering:
American Foursquares
Craftsmans
Dutch Colonials
Tudor Revivals
Most of the area's historic architecture has been preserved, since Five Oaks is part of the Grafton-Rockwood-Wroe Historic District. However, the neighborhood has areas with blighted homes or vacant lots, so the community welcomes infill housing and new construction, like a new 260-unit workforce apartment complex.
You'll find a wide variety home styles along Five Oaks' streets.
Many historic homes have distinct shapes and ornate details.

"They also don't cherry-pick the kids like other charter schools. A lot of the kids, no one in their family has gone to college." Gem City Career Prep High School is another charter option inside the neighborhood.

Walk, drive or take the bus to downtown Dayton

Neighboring Grafton Hill is a hub for events
Residents are within walking distance of several event hubs. "Each year, people look forward to at least one major fish fry [at DECA Prep,]" Marvin says. "People come from all over to eat and play games." In neighboring Grafton Hill, you can find city attractions like the Dayton Art Institute and Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, which host annual celebrations like:
Oktoberfest
Dayton Greek Festival
Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow
The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow is especially popular, drawing tens of thousands of people with its festive jack-o-lanterns. "There's this hill going up to the Greek Orthodox Church that they just load with pumpkins, and they have hundreds of volunteers out there carving," Marvin says.
