A quiet respite from the city of Dayton
A mostly residential neighborhood, Northern Hills is like a suburb within the city of Dayton. From sinuous streets of spacious yards to many midcentury ranch-style houses, the quiet area feels removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Northern Hills also features a small section with retail and restaurants, plus proximity to a state-of-the-art library that hosts frequent events.

Winding roads and ranch-style homes
North of downtown Dayton, Northern Hills is mostly composed of winding roads of single-family houses. Along the streets, residents can stroll past Little Free Libraries and tall maple trees. Large lots feature driveways and garden beds with trimmed shrubs. The architecture mostly consists of 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes in a variety of brick and vinyl sidings, some with front porches. “There’s a mixture of small to medium-sized homes,” says Miranda Biedenharn who has 15 years of experience in the area and works with Comey & Shepherd REALTORS. In contrast to the rest of the neighborhood, the New England Woods subdivision offers larger houses built in the 1990s that often come in a Traditional style. Sales prices range from $83,000 for a ranch-style cottage to $361,000 for a four-bedroom Traditional home in the New England Woods subdivision.

Unique programs at Meadowdale Career Technology Center

The high school offers unique programs from Digital Design to Gaming Technologies.
