Nightlife fun has a historic flare in Webster Station
The center of Dayton's electric light industry in the late 19th century, Webster Station today is a historic downtown neighborhood of locally owned breweries and loft-style condos in renovated warehouses, as well as newly built townhouses. “Webster Station is the up-and-coming place in Dayton,” says Wes Hartshorn, owner of Hartshorn Properties, who manages several buildings in the area. “Investors have put a lot of energy into rehabbing old buildings for new businesses. Now, walkability to bars and restaurants is a huge draw.” In addition to a lively nightlife scene, residents enjoy easy access to hikes along the Great Miami River, minor league games at Day Air Ballpark and local groceries from 2nd Street Market.

Locals have easy access to the Great Miami River, the Day Air Ballpark and other downtown hubs
Set on the banks of the Great Miami River, Riverscape Metro Park offers a paved multi-use path for walkers, joggers and bike riders, as well as a flat, concrete access point for kayakers and canoers. “There’s a whitewater wave here that people love to surf,” says Hartshorn. “It’s one of two in the city.” The Pavilion provides plenty of seasonal entertainment, like summertime concerts and winter ice skating. Festival Plaza hosts several events, including the annual, weekend-long Dayton Celtic Fest every July, where activities include Irish dancing, Guinness drinking, and Catholic services in Gaelic.
Webster Station is also near ample downtown hot spots. Baseball fans can catch a minor league game at Day Air Ballpark, home of the Dayton Dragons; in 2011, the team sold out its 815th consecutive game, earning it one of the longest stadium sell-out streaks in professional sports history. Locals gather at the Dayton Metro Library for toddler story times, adult craft workshops and other community clubs. With a green and purple exterior, The Neon has been a funky independent movie theater since 1986, showing everything from foreign films to indie blockbusters.
Ice skaters can enjoy a rink from January through March at Riverscape MetroPark.

Webster Station has recently built townhouses and renovated apartments
Webster Station’s brick roads are lined with vintage lampposts, young oak trees and Italianate-style buildings. “There’s a huge push for development here, so new complexes are still being built,” says Hartshorn. “Everything is moving fast. It doesn’t matter if it’s for sale or available to rent.” The Brownstone Townhouse complex on Ford Street has three-bedroom units with attached two-car garages starting at $350,000, while contemporary-style digs at City View on Patterson Boulevard typically sell for $500,000.
