People who move to Springboro, Ohio, tend to stick around for a while. The city has grown exponentially since the first half of the 19th century when the small mill town was an important stop along the Underground Railroad. "My family's history in Springboro dates back more than 100 years, and I couldn't be prouder to call it home," says Mayor John Agenbroad, who's served eight terms on the City Council. Its location along Interstate 75 has made it a popular base for commuters; Dayton is about 18 miles away, a drive that takes less than 25 minutes, depending on traffic. Within Springboro itself, however, "There's an amazing sense of community pride," according to Agenbroad. Festival committees plan annual events like Christmas in Historic Springboro, and new subdivisions border public parks and walking trails beside Clear Creek. Today, more than 19,000 people call Springboro home, which represents a more than 50% increase since 2000; the city is still steadily growing and is considered to be one of Dayton's most popular suburbs.

19th-century homes, mid-century styles and new construction
Properties in Springboro range from mid-century ranch-style and split-level houses to stately Colonials, Greek Revivals and Victorians built as early as the mid-19th century. Single-story 1960s and '70s-era homes typically fall between $200,000 and $400,000, as do the city's historic properties. However, New Traditionals in subdivisions like the Villages at Creekside or in neighborhoods like Clearcreek can easily exceed $500,000 and sometimes surpass $600,000. The median price for a single-family home in Springboro is around $460,000, which is higher than the national average of $420,000, and prospective residents can find HOA and non-HOA-restricted homes. Lot sizes average over a quarter of an acre, which means enough space for back porches and trampolines.

Small businesses and shopping centers along Main Street and Central Avenue
Small antique stores and restaurants operate out of historic homes in Springboro's quaint downtown, and the majority of activity takes place along North Main Street and Central Avenue. Some businesses—like Heather's Cafe—were once stops along the Underground Railroad, and today, it's common to find casual taco and tequila joints, sit-down American restaurants and breweries with outdoor seating. La Comedia Dinner Theater, which opened in the 1970s, is one of the oldest in the country and pairs Broadway-style musicals with chef-prepared meals. Springboro is also home to several newer shopping centers like Midway Plaza, which are home to grocery stores, fast food chains and indoor gyms.

During the summer months, the Springboro Wind Symphony performs free of charge at the stage in North Park, which is also a go-to spot for pickleball. There's a bike path in Community Park, and kids splash in the nearby creek when the weather heats up. E. Milo Beck Park is known for its elevated prairie views, accented by blooming wildflowers and colorful trees in the fall.

A few blocks down Main Street, the Springboro Historical Society offers guided Underground Railroad tours and a lecture series. Families bring their own folding chairs for summertime concerts at Wright Station, which is a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). Along with Christmas in Historic Springboro, other annual events include Touch a Truck, Bike the Boro and ARTFest on Main, which has live music and craft booths for kids, along with dozens of art vendors.

Interstate 75 to Dayton and Cincinnati
Springboro is a primarily car-dependent city, but sidewalks make for a pedestrian-friendly downtown. Interstate 75 leads to Dayton, where it's common for residents to work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base or Premier Health, and Cincinnati is 40 miles south, also via I-75. Large-scale employers within Springboro's city limits include Kelchner Construction. Residents can choose between airports such as Dayton International and Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International, which has even more options about 52 miles away. Residents can access medical care at facilities such as Kettering Health Miamisburg or Kettering Health Washington Township.
