Why Madden Hill appeals to commuters and investors
Three miles southwest of Downtown Dayton, Madden Hill is a small neighborhood where established brick homes with investment potential meet growing new construction. The community offers a low-key setting removed from bustling corridors, but drivers still have quick access to Highway 35 and Interstate 75 for daily commuting. A few parks and local markets surround the neighborhood, while restaurants, shops and entertainment destinations are just a short drive away.
What types of homes and price points define Madden Hill
The neighborhood mainly has single-family homes from the mid- to late 20th century. Most are brick ranch-style homes, but bungalows, Cape Cods and two-story Craftsman homes are also around. New custom-built homes add a contemporary touch to the landscape. Prices generally fall within the $100,000s, but older homes needing substantial renovation have sold for under $100,000. "With the price points, you are seeing a lot of investors coming in hoping that the area will turn over," says Realtor Miranda Biedenharn with Comey & Shepherd Realtors.
Bungalows with trim lawns are common in the community.
Ranch-style homes are a staple of the area.
