Avondale
Suburban Neighborhood in Riverside, Ohio
Montgomery County 45404
Well established historic and modern homes
Mature trees shade well-worn streets that intersect in a neat grid pattern throughout the neighborhood's residential zones. Homes have more prominent front and backyards, often fenced in with chain-link or white pickets. Sidewalks aren't typical, but driveways are, preventing a lot of street parking on the area's narrow streets. Homes in the area run the gamut from aging historical fixer-uppers to the roomy gleam of modern construction. Bungalows, American Foursquare, Craftsman, split-level and ranch-style homes are some of the neighborhood's more popular styles. Prices range from the mid-$30,000s for fixer-uppers to the high $100,000s for well-established houses. More modern builds can reach into the low-$300,000s.

Kayaking on the Mad River
The greenery found in Avondale isn't limited to the oak trees that line the streets. Rohrers Farm Park offers a vast stretch of public green space with basketball courts, playground equipment, picnic shelters and a walking path for stretching those legs. Those looking for a wetter way to pass the time need only look to nearby Eastwood Lake. "The great thing about Avondale is the proximity to Eastwood MetroPark," says Pultz. "The lake and river are great for kayaking, and you can take the bike trails all the way to downtown Dayton."

Technical education at Stebbins High
Ohio's Open Enrollment policy allows students to attend any school they feel best suits them, regardless of their assigned district. Students can begin at Ruskin Elementary, rated C-minus by Niche and lauded by many locals for its level of diversity. From there, they can enroll at Mad River Middle School, which has a C, before attending C-plus-rated Stebbins High School. Stebbins High School offers career and technical education programs, allowing students to gain experience in everything from accounting to HVAC.
