An early boom brought high quality of life
Ambitiously named after the Greek city-state, Troy has made its mark since its founding in 1808, just five years after Ohio became a state. The city's strategic location along the Great Miami River led to an early manufacturing industry explosion and population increases. Industries like Collins Aerospace, Clopay Corporation and F&P America Manufacturing still employ over 3,000 residents in the city today. Revitalization programs bring new life to the city's core and maintain a relatively low cost of living. "People always say where they choose to live is the best place, but we have unparalleled quality of life here," says Joseph Graves, president of the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce. "The city is well taken care of, and people have a lot of pride in their homes and community."
Housing programs preserve historic designs
Neighborhoods have a wide range of architectural styles. Around downtown, bungalows and American Foursquares sit beside Victorian, Dutch Colonial and Tudor homes. Larger outskirt subdivisions feature New Traditional and ranch-style homes. "New construction has slowed with increasing rates, but we still have a healthy slate of development," Graves says. Housing programs preserve older architecture and remove blight across the community. The city's median sale price is around $280,000, lower than the national median of $406,000.

Playing public tunes throughout downtown
Downtown Troy bustles with activity. It's full of locally owned restaurants, specialty shops and space for new storefronts. A Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) lets people ages 21 and over freely explore downtown while enjoying alcoholic beverages. Flowering planters, sculptures and brightly painted street pianos invite people to the district's walkable streets, and business incentives help entrepreneurs set up shop. Troy also has a growing Tax Increment Finance District with several nationally recognized retail and dining destinations along Interstate 75.

County fairgrounds and the Hobart Arena
City parks surround the Miami River, which winds through the center of town. While most people use it to kayak, boat or fish, Treasure Island Park rents out floating tents so people can camp on the water. Next door is the Miami County Fairgrounds, where the county fair has been held since 1847. Hobart Urban Nature Preserve's grasslands support bird watching, hiking and seasonal cross-country skiing. During summer, people splash around Troy Aquatic Park's pools and waterslides.
Hobart Arena is the city's epicenter of indoor recreation. Its public ice-skating rink is open year-round, and it's known for hosting some of the city's biggest entertainers. "Elvis Presley actually performed there in the early days," Graves says. The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center offers art classes and rotating exhibits, while The WACO Museum and Aviation Learning Center preserves Troy's aviation history through its collection of historic aircraft. It also hosts annual fly-ins that attract people from around the country.
Troy is situated next to the Great Miami River.

Interstate access leads to Dayton
Troy has no public transportation, so residents rely on cars. Main Street and North Market Street are the city's primary thoroughfares, and traffic flows freely. "We're not that big of a community, so even during rush, it's not like Dayton traffic," says Mary Couser, Realtor at Galbreath Realtors. Interstate 75 is a direct line into Dayton, about 20 miles away. The closest commercial airport is Dayton International Airport, 14 miles south.
Sweet treats at The Strawberry Festival
One of Troy's biggest events is The Strawberry Festival. Drawing crowds of over 200,000, attendees enjoy strawberry-themed snacks, activities and fruit picking at Fulton Farms, the biggest strawberry patch east of the Mississippi River. Courthouse Plaza hosts weekly concerts in summer, and First Fridays bring special deals and shop hops. "In the fall, we have Porchfest. People have local bands come and play on their front porch, and we all walk around the neighborhoods to listen to them," Couser says. Around Thanksgiving, people come from all over to get a heaping plate at The Lincoln Community Center's annual feast.
Low crime rates, higher tornado risk
According to the FBI, property and violent crime rates in Troy are lower than the national average.
Troy enjoys moderate weather year-round, and annual flooding is low due to levees along the river. However, the city is at risk for tornadoes, with the last big storm passing through in 2023.
