Between two rivers
Between the Miami and Mad Rivers just outside downtown Dayton is the Old North Dayton neighborhood, which has seen a renaissance over the last five years. On Memorial Day 2019, a tornado ripped through the neighborhood, causing extensive damage. “I had several apartments in that neighborhood that were hit,” says Todd Pultz, a Realtor with Maxxed Out Realty with 11 years of real estate experience. “It’s made a great comeback due to many people getting together to rehabilitate homes affected.”
Old North Dayton is located northeast of Downtown Dayton, and is surrounded by two rivers.

German and Turkish influence
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, two distinct immigrant groups made their way to the Old North Dayton neighborhood. An abundance of Turkish and German families have made this part of Dayton their home. That German influence can be found mainly at the Amber Rose Restaurant on Valley Street. The building where it’s located was built in 1910 and ran as a deli for many years. Since 1990, Amber Rose has served traditional German food, including sausage, sauerkraut and schnitzel. The beer and wine list includes hard-to-find European beverages. Turkish influence can be found in the generations of families living in the neighborhood. “The Turkish community is very family-driven, and they have become an active part of the community,” Pultz says.
The Amber Rose Restaurant in Old North Dayton specializes in homemade Eastern European cuisine.

Recreation on land and in the water
The home to many baseball tournaments during the warm-weather months, Action Sports Park has eight baseball fields and attracts teams from all over Ohio. “There are many travel baseball teams that play, and It’s busy almost every weekend starting in March with activity,” Pultz says. “They are only a baseball facility. The tornado destroyed an indoor component, and they never rebuilt. They used their insurance money to put turf on the baseball fields.” Mad River flows along the neighborhood’s southern border, and the Miami River is at the north. Both are great fishing rivers, and the Mad River is a popular kayaking waterway. Some people kayak into downtown Dayton from several miles upstream.
Residents of Old North Dayton can visit Eastwood Metropark to go fishing.

I've lived in this area over 10 years now. I've never had any issues while living here really. Sometimes there are fights but, that's like any area really. There are many old homes here and also some family businesses. It is hard to find work though because of that. There is a mix of many different races and religions here and everyone really sticks to themselves and that makes it a good area to live.
