Classic suburban vibes with historical signficance
With a thriving manufacturing industry and dedication to nurturing natural beauty, West Carrollton has come a long way since its founding as a tiny township in 1830. Set against the steady currents of the Great Miami River, this tight-knit community claims both a historical background and access to modern amenities. Residents are also drawn to West Carrollton for its lower-than-average real estate prices, notable public schools and close proximity to downtown Dayton.
Tree City community
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.
Single family homes are very popular within the West Carrollton neighborhood.
