A historic neighborhood on the cusp of being an up-and-comer
Though Highview Hills has seen steady degradation in years gone by--including condemned homes and worn infrastructure--an active local community and restoration projects spearheaded by the city government suggest there's hope for economic renewal in the near future. "Revitalization efforts are slowly expanding outward to neighborhoods further outside of downtown," says Miranda Biedenharn, a Realtor with Comey and Shepard who's served the Dayton community since 2004. "It's on the cusp of being an up-and-coming area." In the meantime, low-priced historic homes and a sense of atmosphere are its biggest draws. "It's a quiet community that's been around a long time," says Kaamil Slaughter, president of the Highview Hills Neighborhood Association. "When you're standing on the hills in the area during the summer, you feel an incredible breeze that comes through."
Quick drives to downtown Dayton
The area is convenient to Interstate 75, offering a 4.5-mile run into downtown Dayton. The same route continues to the Dayton International Airport, some 16.5 miles north. Public buses are available through the Dayton Regional Transit Authority, which service a half dozen stops on South Gettysburg Avenue at roughly every half hour.

Renovations in Hillview's historic homes
Narrow, worn sidewalks line streets that pass lots with full front and backyards, private driveways and the very occasional garage. Copses of trees are plentiful, particularly in the southern section of the neighborhood, where the residential zone gives way to the maples and sweetgums of Stoney Ridge and Germantown Meadow. Many homes were constructed in the 1950s and earlier, with some being over 100 years old. New construction is uncommon, though local activists are working to change that. "A lot of buildings were knocked down because of blight," says Slaughter. "We're pushing for new houses to replace them." Ranch-style homes, bungalows and American foursquare are typical, with sizes that rarely exceed 1100 square feet. Prices start in the mid-$40,000s for a ranch-style fixer-upper before peaking in the low $100,000s for a fully renovated centennial bungalow.

Evolving out of a food desert
For a no-frills evening out, Huffies BBQ offers classic soul food selections like ribs, brisket and fried chicken with a small-town diner atmosphere. The family-owned Westside Supermarket is a mile north. Amenities in the immediate area are sparse, but improvements are on the horizon. "We've been a food desert," says Slaughter. "But we've got a couple of new grocery stores, along with a health center, coming to the community."
Huffie's Bar-B-Que is a community staple for Highview Hills diners.
