Homes are architecturally diverse, inside and out
Built between the late 1880s and the 1920s, Old Dayton View has some of the oldest homes in all of Dayton. Much of the neighborhood is within the Dayton View Historic District, and many homes are on the National Register of Historic Places. “The historic buildings are definitely one of the area’s biggest draws, if not the biggest,” says Realtor Jeffrey Roberts of RE/MAX Alliance, who has worked in the area for 35 years. “Some of the prettiest homes in town are in Old Dayton View, especially if you like historic architecture.” Along the community’s wide, tree-lined streets are Queen Anne, Chateauesque and Jacobean-style homes, along with a smattering of more modern Prairie School, Dutch Colonial, Craftsman and American Foursquare-style properties. This diversity creates a lively visual landscape, as brightly colored paneling and paint jobs harmoniously contrast with deep red brick exteriors and natural stone and wood accents. Interiors are just as diverse, with some homes featuring grand wooden staircases, ornate marble and iron fireplaces and clawfoot bathtubs. Over the last few decades, millions of dollars have gone into maintaining and restoring homes on Old Dayton View. While some homes that need work cost under $100,000, most homes sell between $120,000 and $300,000, depending on their size, condition and historical importance. Some houses in the neighborhood are among the largest in central Dayton, ranging between 2,000 and 3,800 square feet.The Dayton View Historic Association, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, focuses on the historic preservation of the neighborhood and its surrounding areas. The association provides residents with blueprints for architectural rehabilitation and acts as a liaison between the community and government agencies. They also orchestrate reforestation efforts to recuperate the area’s distinctive elm trees. Individuals, households and businesses can become members to gain voting rights.

Historic celebration at McIntosh Park
Old Dayton View is within 2 miles of various parks. McIntosh Park is at the bottom of the neighborhood with a colorful playground, floral-themed splash pad and recently constructed parking lot to accommodate the park’s popularity. The park hosts various community events, from neighborly get-togethers to city-wide events. Dayton Black Pride was recently held there because of the park’s ties to Dayton civil rights leader W.S. McIntosh. To the west is Liberation Park, which has lots of space for pick-up basketball or a game of frisbee. Old Dayton View is adjacent to the Miami River and the Great Miami River Recreational Trail. Spanning over 90 miles, the trail is a favorite among cyclists and hikers. To hit the water, residents take the trail or drive up to Island MetroPark, which has a boat and kayak launch 2 miles north.
Nearby charter school teaches students to be leaders
The Dayton Public School District has flexible school zoning, allowing families to choose where their students attend. However, based on distance, many students attend Fairview Elementary School before heading to E J Brown Middle School. Both schools have a C-minus rating on Niche. High schoolers attend Stiver School for the Arts, which has a B-minus rating and eight magnet programs. Charter schools, like the D-rated Dayton Leadership Academy next to the neighborhood, are also an option. The school has kindergarten through eighth-grade students. “We’re one of the only schools in Dayton that is a Leader in Me school, which really differentiates us from other schools,” says Tess Asinjo, executive director of Dayton Leadership Academies. “Students have leadership opportunities in the classroom and the community. We do quarterly community service projects, and we send our kids out as much as possible to help be leaders of events.” She also says the school hosts events to raise money and offer resources to families. “We had a big back-to-school block party and received almost $5,000 in donations to buy backpacks and school supplies. We also do monthly family events, whether it be a festival or literacy night.”
Edison Elementary School near Old Dayton has a student teacher ratio of 14 to 1.

For flights, locals head 13 miles north to Dayton International Airport.

Gem City Market, the community’s gift to Dayton’s west side
The neighborhood has limited restaurant options. However, when it comes to groceries, locals stop by the neighborhood’s own Gem City Market, the largest grocer for miles. The community built the market to meet the need for a grocery store on the city’s western side. Gem City also offers nutrition classes and a mini health clinic. More restaurants and retail options are downtown. Locals take Salem Avenue over the Miami River to reach eateries like Flying Pizza, Olive Mediterranean Grill and Grist. This Italian restaurant takes made-from-scratch to the next level by offering cooking classes on Sundays. Downtown is also home to many entertainment venues, from the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center to Levitt Pavilion. Closer to home, Old Dayton View is less than 1 mile from The Dayton Art Institute and Kettering Health Dayton, the closest hospital.
