Neighborhood Reviews
Tree City neighborhood
Row after row of established homes line the well-maintained streets. Ranch, split-level and other mid-20th-century designs dominate the area, with Cape Cods, Craftsman, and condos also appearing frequently. Homes are largely well cared for and fetch a price lower than most in the Dayton market. “The affordability is definitely there,” says Julie Suitts, a Realtor with Keller Williams Advisors who’s served the area since 1998. “You can get a nice 3-bedroom place for under $200,000 if you’re quick enough—the real estate there sells fast.” Narrow sidewalks line the streets, providing a level of walkability extending to many of the stores and restaurants in West Carrollton. There are plentiful trees to provide shade, a fact recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation, which has given the town its Tree City Award for 35 years running. Condos range from $70,000 to $120,000, while single-family homes run between $100,000 and $400,000.

A butterfly garden at Hintermeister Park
With 174 acres of walking trails, gardens, educational centers, and lush foliage, the Cox Arboretum MetroPark is a popular spot to relax and learn about local flora and fauna. The Great Miami River Trail is a 93-mile path for hikers, bikers and strollers that follows the Great Miami River from Middletown to Piqua, offering endless opportunities to observe nature. It was along this very stretch of river that famed inventor Orville Wright developed his first seaplane between 1912 and 1914. The centrally-located Hintermeister Park features the town’s first dog park, along with playground equipment, picnic pavilions and a butterfly garden.

Kettering Health Miamisburg is 3 miles south, while the Moraine Airpark is 3 miles northeast, just across the Great Miami River. Public transportation is popular, and the Dayton RTA provides bus service to most locations within the Greater Dayton area.Latin fine dining and comfort cuisine
El Meson offers Spanish-inspired cuisine set in an elegant but fun atmosphere. With a story that dates back to 1978, this family-owned restaurant has developed a reputation in the Miami Valley. “People come from all over Ohio to eat there,” says Julie Suitts. “It’s one of the best places in town.” Familiar favorites can be found at Fazoli’s, KFC, Waffle House and Domino’s Pizza. Kroger and Walgreens are easily accessible, and families can head to Cinemark Dayton South 16 and XD to check out the latest movie releases.

Niche Review
I enjoy the closeness of my community. I used to travel to this suburb as a child to visit special shops or attend fun events. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses have left the area and some parts have become a bit run down. Our school district has also declined, so much that I send my child to private school in a neighboring district.

The crime rate has gotten worse since 2000, but overall, it is lower than some towns.
