A suburb for Dayton commuters

When Dayton commuters are looking to settle down in suburbia but aren't quite ready to give up the city activity, they find a home Gateway. This community sits 7 miles from downtown Dayton along State Route 4. "The location is great for commuters who want to find a reasonable single-family home with an easy drive into the city," says Karry Santiago, a Realtor in Dayton for over 30 years, currently with Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors. The neighborhood is also uber-convenient for employees at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, right next door. There are many three-to-four-bedroom Craftsman homes built in the 1990s that are a couple of decades newer and slightly higher priced than homes north of the neighborhood in Forest Ridge. Green space is a prominent feature, a well-maintained park in the area and small lakes to the south that are popular with paddlers. Nearby shopping adds to the convenient lifestyle of residents, with most necessities just a couple of miles away.

Wynwood's small community environment

Most residents live in the suburban community of Wynwood. "It's much smaller than Forest Ridge to the north, but residents love the small community feel here," Santiago says. There are large grassy lawns, sidewalks and Craftsman architecture throughout the neighborhood. Wynwood has a homeowners association that maintains the tree-lined streets and parks in the suburb. The community was developed in the 1990s, making homes a couple of decades newer and a bit larger than those in Forest Ridge, which comes with a slightly high price tag. Most three-to-four-bedroom Craftsman homes range from $250,000 to $350,000. Smaller budgets can also get a place in Gateway, as there are three-bedroom ranch-style homes for about $225,000 in Wynwood.

Wooded trails for bikers around Gateway

One of the main draws to Gateway is its range of parks, from playgrounds and ponds in the community to wooded trails and small lakes for paddling just 2 miles from most homes. Within Wynwood, there's a small park with a playground and a pond where residents can relax under a willow on a breezy summer day. Two miles from the community, outdoor adventurers can go for a hike along the Mad River at Eastwood Metro Park, and aquatic activity lovers can cast a line or go for a paddle on Eastwood Lake. Cyclists love to ride on the wooded trails at the Metro Parks Mountain Biking Area, about a mile from the neighborhood. On a rainy day, head a couple of miles south to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, where people can check out hangers full of planes and aircraft used throughout history.

Comfort food and burritos along Route 201

Folks drive 3 miles northwest for most of their necessities along State Route 201, where they can get groceries at Kroger and grab a bite from a handful of surrounding restaurants. Drive a couple of miles west on Route 4 for more spots to eat, like Debbie's Restaurant, a local go-to for generous portions of classic American comfort food. Another favorite is Burrito King, where locals line up in the drive-through for their homemade breakfast tacos and al pastor burritos.

Nearby airport and bus stops

Commuters who don't want to drive into downtown can catch the bus at the Ramblewood Stop, which is about a mile from most homes. Air travel is convenient, with Dayton International Airport 13 miles north. 88th Medical Group is 6.5 miles from Gateway, located by the Air Force Base.

Block parties and holiday lights

One of the benefits of Gateway being a small community is that neighbors often gather for events, whether it be a summer block party or getting together during the holidays to decorate the streets with glimmering lights.
