Springhill offers quiet residential living in northeast Middletown

Once buyers settle into a home in the northeastern neighborhood of Springhill, it’s rare for them to leave. The community has quiet streets and an abundance of single-story homes on compact lots, which attracts buyers searching for properties that are easier to manage. “The demographic is older,” says Melvin Hart, a Middletown resident and Realtor with ERA Real Solutions Realty. Having sold several homes in the area, Hart says many buyers “are empty nesters and want to downsize.” About a quarter of the community’s population is 65 or older, and the median age is 44. At the same time, families also consider the area for its proximity to schools and a sizable inventory of larger homes on spacious parcels.

Midcentury homes and eighties-era subdivisions

The neighborhood is dominated by midcentury cottages, Craftsman-inspired houses, and single-story and raised ranch-style homes. Subdivisions have homes built between the 1980s and '90s, including Colonial Revival, split-level, midcentury modern and ranch-style homes. Cottages and homes under 1,200 square feet on small parcels range from $100,000 to $200,000. Additional square footage and larger lots can cost between $200,000 and $350,000, depending on the home’s size, age and condition. Turnover and inventory are low, and homes spend an average of 19 days on the market, far less than the national average of 47 days.

Golf courses, hiking trails and green spaces

Golfers can tee off from private courses like Wildwood Golf Club just outside the neighborhood and Forest Hills Country Club. Brown’s Run Public Golf Course and Franklin Golf Course are open to the public and within a roughly 10-minute drive. Nature lovers flock to Bull’s Run Nature Sanctuary and Arboretum to spot wildlife, walk their dogs and stroll through wooded trails. Other trails, like the Miami University Nature Trail and the Great Miami River Trail, are five minutes away. Sunset Park spans 15 acres and has been revamped in the past few years with a playground, walking paths and sports courts.

College Credit Plus at Middletown High School

Kids may attend Miller Ridge Elementary School, which receives a C-plus from Niche, or Wildwood Elementary School, rated C. Sixth graders attend Highview Sixth Grade Center, rated C-minus. Middletown Middle School also receives a C-minus, while Middletown High School is rated C. Most homes are within a mile or two of the schools. High schoolers can earn college credit at no cost through the College Credit Plus program. Middletown has private school options like St. John XXIII Catholic School, an A-rated school for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 kids. Miami University Middletown is near the neighborhood’s southern border.

Drivers can reach Dayton in 40 minutes and Cincinnati within an hour

Part of Middletown’s appeal is its proximity to the Dayton and Cincinnati metropolitan areas. “Sometimes we’ll go to Dayton for dinner or we’ll go to Cincinnati and see concerts or go to a Bengals game,” Hart says. Drivers can reach Dayton and Dayton International Airport within 40 minutes, while Cincinnati and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport are about an hour away. Some, but not all, streets in Springhill have sidewalks. Butler County Regional Transit Authority bus stops are scattered throughout the area, but most people rely on cars to get around. Major thoroughfares include University Boulevard, Route 73/Verity Parkway and Interstate 75. Kettering Health Middletown is the closest hospital, about 6 miles away. A railroad passes through the area, but significant traffic delays are rare.

Bourbon’s Craft Kitchen and Bar is buzzing with activity

The area is highly residential, but restaurants are within a five-minute drive. Needler’s Fresh Market is the closest full-service grocery store, but many residents stop at drive-thru convenience stores like University Drive-Thru and University Express to grab snacks, drinks and beer. Springhill is five minutes from Bourbon’s Craft Kitchen and Bar, one of Middletown’s most popular spots for dinner and drinks with a lengthy list of bourbons and rotating seasonal specials. “Bourbon’s is always packed and we even get people from Cincinnati,” Hart says. “I’ve never gone there and seen it empty.” Burgers and baked potatoes are menu highlights at Broken Barrel Bar and Grill, while Brent’s Smokin’ Butts and Grill is a laid-back spot for barbecue. “We’re getting a Chick-fil-A and everyone’s very excited about it,” he says.While shops and restaurants are limited within the neighborhood’s boundaries, several houses of worship are nearby, including Protestant and nondenominational churches.
