Why Shroyer Park appeals to families and commuters

Shroyer Park is an established south Dayton neighborhood where mature trees and midcentury homes create a calm place to settle down. Single-family homes and apartment complexes attract long-term homeowners and renters wanting a suburban lifestyle. Kids can walk to school or to the ball field for after-school sports. Residents are a quick drive from commercial centers and employers. All in all, Shroyer Park maintains a comfortable residential atmosphere oriented toward families, students and commuters.

Cape Cods, Craftsman homes and apartments shape the neighborhood

"There are some really nice residential areas down in Shroyer,” says David Moyer, Realtor with Keller Williams Advisors Realty. The neighborhood has the classic look of suburbia, with mid-20th-century homes lining wide roads. Cozy Cape Cods and Craftsman-style homes peek out from behind leafy trees shading sidewalks. Each home matches its neighbor well but showcases small design flourishes, from unique brickwork and woodwork to colorful paint. "People like it because it isn't the same cookie-cutter neighborhood you see everywhere else," says Bob Biedenharn, Realtor with Home Experts Realty. The neighborhood also has many apartment complexes offering one to two-bedroom units.

Homes tend to sell moderately quickly, spending an average of about 30 days on the market compared to the national average of around 50 days. Prices usually range between the low $100,000s and $300,000. Although rare in the community, condos can cost less than $100,000 or up to the low $100,000s. These are usually popular choices among investors who use the properties for student rentals.

Walkable streets at home, but quick commutes across Dayton

You’ll often see neighbors walking pets around the community or kids biking down the streets. However, commuting usually requires a car. Drivers are within 4 miles of major employers in University Park and Downtown Dayton and about 10 miles, or 15 minutes, from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the city’s largest employer.

Play together at Patterson Park and exercise at the RecPlex

Patterson Park is the spot for outdoor activity and community bonding. The park has been a hub for youth baseball, softball and T-ball since the late 1950s. At Creager Field Dog Park, pets can make friends and get some exercise. In neighboring University Park, University of Dayton students, staff and alums can get a membership at the RecPlex. This indoor facility offers everything from swimming pools and athletic courts to a climbing wall and a running track.

Local eateries and nearby corridors offer plenty of dining

A few dining options are around the neighborhood, from local pizza spots and fast-casual chains to a highly rated Thai restaurant and a small-town pub. The closest dining corridor is Brown Street in University Park. It offers many options, including:

  • Pine Club, a low-lit upscale steakhouse serving Dayton since 1947
  • Tastefully Roasted Coffee, a cozy café offering seasonal drinks and a relaxed atmosphere
  • Ginger and Spice Asian Bistro, a wood-paneled eatery serving a range of classic Asian dishes
  • Bourbon Street Grill & Café, a counter-serve spot selling Cajun-inspired soul food
A short drive farther north, you can check out the restaurants, bars and breweries in downtown Dayton, Oregon and Webster Station.
