How Webster Station bloomed into a renter-friendly social hub

Webster Station is a historic downtown neighborhood bringing new life to Dayton's industrial past. Old warehouses have been transformed into stylish apartments, and new developments continue to refresh the area's commercial and housing options. Residents easily walk between local breweries, upscale restaurants and vibrant bars. Waterfront trails and RiverScape MetroPark connect the community to outdoor excursions and seasonal events, while Day Air Ballpark is a Daytonian's favorite spot to watch minor league baseball games. With easy downtown access and plenty of things to do, Webster Station has become one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods.

Old warehouses are now apartments, and newly built townhomes

The neighborhood was originally an industrial hub, but now, manufacturing warehouses have become luxury apartment complexes. "Webster Station is where the historic meets modern, urban living," says David Moyer, a Realtor with Keller Williams Advisors Realty. "Webster Station has really developed itself to be very renter-friendly." Some factories were demolished to make room for new construction. "There's a huge push for development here, so new complexes are still being built," says Wes Hartshorn, a local rehabber who manages several buildings in the area. "Everything is moving fast. It doesn't matter if it's for sale or available to rent."

While properties for sale are rare, buyers can find renovated or newly built townhomes and lofts between the mid-$200,000s and the high $400,000s. These often have about $100 to $200 in monthly HOA fees.

Breweries and bars attract weekend nightlife

Revitalization has changed Webster Station into a vibrant social hub. "Investors have put a lot of energy into rehabbing old buildings for new businesses," Hartshorn says. People walk between laid-back restaurants, craft breweries and busy bars, rarely needing to leave the neighborhood to find something to do. Popular spots include:

  • Canal Street Arcade and Deli, a chill barcade offering sandwiches and vintage pinball machines
  • The Barrel House, a cozy brewery pouring Dayton-made beers and locally sourced wine
  • Tender Mercy, a stylish speakeasy serving cocktails and omakase sushi
  • Sueño, an upscale Mexican restaurant offering a highly curated food and drink menu
The neighborhood is also home to 2nd Street Market. At this very popular weekend market, you can visit food vendors, buy farm-fresh produce, freshly baked bread and artisan goods year-round.

Explore riverside trails, park events and Day Air Ballpark

The area borders the Mad and Great Miami rivers, and residents can easily hike or bike along the waterfront. These trails connect to RiverScape MetroPark, a hub for seasonal recreation. Many people launch kayaks and canoes onto the river at the park. "There's a whitewater wave here that people love," Hartshorn says. "It's one of two in the city." The park's covered pavilion hosts a summer concert series and ice skating in winter. RiverScape also holds cultural celebrations, like the Dayton Celtic Festival, where you can enjoy Irish dancing, Guinness drinking and Catholic services in Gaelic.

Day Air Ballpark is located in the neighborhood. Thousands of people pour into the stands every baseball season to watch the Dayton Dragons minor league team play.

Ice skaters slide across the rink at RiverScape MetroPark's pavilion from January through March.

Downtown Dayton attractions are only a few blocks away

Residents are also minutes away from downtown attractions, including:

  • The Loft Theatre
  • The Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center
