A slice of suburbia
With its long stretches of established homes, public recreation and access to creature comforts, Avondale has a classic sense of suburbia. Hugged on both sides by the Great Miami River and Eastwood Lake, this Riverside suburb is well-regarded by locals for its natural beauty and lower-than-average real estate prices. Combine these factors with a community-wide love of local athletics, and the area's reputation as one of the more family-friendly slices of the Dayton Metro area comes into sharper focus.
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.
Avondale offers a wide variety of home styles for the residents.
Avondale encompasses many blocks of bungalow style homes.
