Industrial parks and rows of residential homes in Amanda-Oneida
Beginning in the late 1800s, AK Steel, then known as Armco, was headquartered in Middletown, Ohio. Although it left town in the early 2000s, taking hundreds of jobs with it, other large-scale industrial centers remained. Many are still based in Amanda-Oneida, a neighborhood 3 miles south of downtown Middletown. Here, midcentury homes and small community churches sit across the train tracks from Air Products, an industrial gas supplier, and manufacturers like BlueScope. Larger cities like Dayton and Cincinnati are both within an hour, connecting the neighborhood to more opportunities for arts, culture and entertainment. “That’s how it got its name,” says Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtor Bill Hobbs. “It’s in the middle….The biggest thing for me about the area is the convenience. They call it ‘the heart of it all.’”

A namesake elementary school is within walking distance
The neighborhood derives its name in part from Amanda Elementary School, which earns a C grade from Niche. It’s within walking distance for many students. Kids go on to attend Highview 6th Grade Center and Middletown Middle, both of which have C-minus grades, before graduating from Middletown High, which also has a C. There are more educational opportunities open to the public at the MidPointe Library. “We offer programming for all ages and stages,” says the library’s communications director, Cari Hillman, adding that she’s come to recognize many of the same faces at events. “There’s something for everyone…We also visit pretty much every preschool in our service area to bring library programming to little ones.”

Major thoroughfares, nearby employment and medical care
Amanda-Oneida is about 3 miles from downtown Middletown along Verity Parkway. Interstate 75 connects the neighborhood to larger cities in less than an hour. Cincinnati is around 35 miles south, and Dayton is a little over 25 miles north. Although both offer a range of employment opportunities, it’s more common for residents to work closer to home. “The steel industry is still big in Middletown,” says Steve Owens of Plum Tree Realty, explaining that some things in the rustbelt town have remained more or less the same over the last hundred years, even after the departure of AK Steel. Atrium Medical Center is the closest hospital — it’s also another major employer. Both Dayton and Cincinnati have international airports, although Cincinnati’s is larger, offering direct flights to more than 50 destinations.
Amanda-Oneida is located 3 miles from downtown Middletown, offering its residents easy access to parks, vibrant restaurants, and a variety of retailers.
