Suburban Pheasant Hill keeps you close to jobs, shops and schools

Pheasant Hill is a small neighborhood of leafy suburban cul-de-sacs on the border of Dayton and Huber Heights. The community's location and quiet lifestyle can make the area feel removed from city life, but you're still a quick drive from key metro-area destinations. Commuters can easily reach Downtown Dayton and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the city's largest employer. Thriving shopping centers are around the corner in Huber Heights, and the Huber Heights City School District serves local students. People also live near many popular recreation areas, from cycling trails to skate parks.

New Traditional homes and condos cater to first timers and families

Winding residential roads and cul-de-sacs reveal a collection of mature trees, tidy lawns and suburban homes. The neighborhood was developed after 1980, so architectural styles lean more contemporary. Ranch-style houses, split-level homes and two-story New Traditional homes are common, but certain parts of the community have condos and ranch-style duplexes with double driveways. "They're pretty decent-sized houses for first-time buyers, families and even multi-generational families," says Kerry Santiago, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors. Neighbors get to know one another and build support networks, especially among military families. "A lot of people who come here with the military want to retire here or try to get follow-ons here," Santiago says.

Single-family homes typically sell between the mid $200,000s and the mid $400,000s, with a few outliers here and there. Condos cost less, ranging in the $100,000s.

Daily commutes to Wright-Patterson AFB and downtown Dayton are quick

While sidewalks are throughout the neighborhood, you'll need a car to get around. Luckily, the daily commute is quick with Huber Heights around the corner and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base less than 10 miles away. Drivers can be at the base within 15 to 20 minutes, even during rush hour. Pheasant Hill is also roughly the same distance from downtown Dayton, another employment hub.

Students attend Huber Heights schools and nearby colleges

While Pheasant Hill is technically within Dayton's city limits, students attend schools within the Huber Heights City School District. However, families can apply to Dayton Public Schools during the annual open enrollment period.

The neighborhood is also 6 miles from Wright State University and the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), a postgraduate school inside Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. "A lot of folks try to get follow-ons to stay here because the school is great for their career," Santiago says. AFIT offers continuing education programs in civil engineering, strategic force studies and systems and logistics, as well as a nationally recognized, Carnegie-classified graduate school.

Local parks offer sports courts, a splash pad and a pump track

For outdoor recreation, visit the playground at Cottonwood Park or check out Thomas A. Cloud Memorial Park. It has dozens of athletic areas, from football and soccer fields to baseball diamonds, tennis courts and a sand volleyball pit. During summer, kids run around the park's splash pad, and crowds gather to watch Fourth of July fireworks. You're also a short drive from:

  • Kitty Hawk/Menlo Dog Park, which features three spacious fenced-in dog parks
  • Huber Heights Orange Skatepark and Pump Track, which caters to beginner and advanced skaters
  • MetroParks Mountain Biking Area, which offers miles of forested bike trails
For indoor recreation, "there's a really great YMCA in Huber Heights," Santiago says. "When I have new people come into town, I always tell them about that YMCA."
