Places to live in Dayton, OH (Columbus, Kettering: best neighborhood, for rent, house prices)

[af1]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it is not the International Dayton Airport, but the AF base.
I appreciate the response. I will be looking for housing in the communities you mentioned above. I hope I am able to find something soon, or I'll go out of my mind lol..
Thanks a lot for your imput!

Since you said you want to live in a predominantly white (European ancestry) area you might not like Beavercreek that much as it has Asians living there, though it is still pretty white.

Instead I'd recommend moving to Miami County, north of Wright-Patterson. Bethel Township or Tipp City would be nice for you.

I would not recommend moving to Montgomery County, including the suburbs, based on your information. Miami County seems a better fit.

Places for you to avoid in Greene County if you decide to look in Greene: Xenia, Yellow Springs, and Wilberforce areas.

I suggest Springboro. They hate everyone who's different. You'll fit right in.

Excuse me, but where do you come off denouncing a whole town as being hate filled? Condeming a whole community because of a few select opinions sounds just as bigoted.

It is perfectly within someone's rights to request to live whatever place they feel and see fit, even if we don't agree with the reasons at which they arrive.

I meant 1) the "Stepford Wives" could have been set in Springboro and 2) I know of few other upscale areas that are so monotonously brain-dead homogeneous and just plain "white." As far as "hate", maybe that's a stretch.

It is perfectly within someone's rights to request to live whatever place they feel and see fit, even if we don't agree with the reasons at which they arrive.

And it is perfectly within someone else's rights to exercise their free speech privileges and ridicule those reasons.

Here's some presumably Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitors sites is not allowedabout Springboro. When we moved to this area, this was presented as the town with the best schools and I believe they still hold that honor.

Springboro is a growing, rural suburban country-feeling area that I for one find perfectly charming. The property taxes are a bit on the high side but that's to support the rapidly growing infrastructure. If I could, I'd live there again.

I'm picking on Springboro because it has an extremely homogeneous demographic makeup. It's all "upscale", it's mostly European/English descent residents as the poster above desired, it's got the streets with names like "Success" and "Prestige". A friend tells me that his cousins who are settled in Springboro take pains to constantly rub their "successful" lifestyle living by the Heatherwood Golf Club in his face.

I was thinking Springboro might be too far a commute for someone working at or near Wright-Patterson.

They could live out on a big minifarm in the country and have their demographic desires fulfilled.

I agree about the commute. I was scanning posts and thought at first that he was going to be working at the Wright Bros. airport.

Ohioan, that may be true of a segment of the population of Springboro, but your broad generalizations of the area are not true. I know because I lived there, worked there and still spend time with friends there. What you describe can be found anywhere. Snooty people are still snooty people.
Not everyone with WASP heritage is hateful.

Anyway, moot point as they are needing something up more like Greene Co. or Miami Co. way by the sounds of it.

Any thoughts on the Englewood/Taylorsburg area - specifically the Savina Hill Estates neighborhood???
