Small rural towns north of Dayton???

Quote: Miami County (Tipp, Troy, etc.) is on I-75. You can live rurally, but still be anywhere in Dayton in between 15-30 minutes.


My additional input on the above. Just be aware that all of these places you are talking about in Miami Valley are yes, an easy commute down I-75 into downtown Dayton.

But if you need to go east from there to work - you will either have to traverse city roads with lots of lights or go down I-70.
I-70 is horrible. Currently under construction with lots of cement barriers, many spots where the barriers are all the way up to the actual road white line on both sides and its wall to wall semi's all the time.
This commute issue has pretty much kept me away from Miami county as I work on the NE side of Dayton.

It seems that just because "we" are Tipp City, "we" are better than everyone else. I'm not saying these people are mean, just a little to much into themselves. I also agree that many graduates go to college and find out that the world is much different from Tipp and have some trouble adjusting to that fact. Lucky for me, I have not attended Tipp City schools my whole life, so I have some idea of what the world I venture off into will be like. Just remember, some people that live here are snobby but there are many friendly people that live here too!

Definitely. You hit the nail on head. They are becoming a lot like Bellbrook. Rich, snobby people.

We're losing respect for you guys over here in West Milton. You aren't Gods. (especially in Football).

Try New Carlisle. It's a small town just north of I-70 & just east of I-75. Housing is very affordable...almost shocking compared to the southern suburbs of Dayton. It is very dog friendly & has that old town look & feel. My sis-in-law moved there & loves it! Major shopping (WalMart, bigger stores, etc.) & cities just north or south of the town. I've always wanted to move there but work keeps us south of Dayton.

I grew up in Greenville which is north of Dayton off of 49 in Darke County. I haven't lived there since 1980 but my siblings have stayed there. I always liked Greenville. It's grown alot since I lived there. It's a nice community for raising kids. Like any town, they've got a dumpy section. The houses are not moving there and there are alot of them for sale. I think the Ethanol plant that moved in hasn't helped on that end of the town.

All the above suggestions are good, and pretty good descriptions. Weather wise, it can get into the upper 90s (and I'm about 1 1/2 north of the dayton area). Early this summer where I live we had a few bad storms and a couple tornadoes...but again that's further north. But spring and fall are really nice...kind of rainy in spring but really not bad. It's nice when things get green after winter. You'll get snow...but USUALLY nothing TOO bad...depending on what you consider bad. We do get ice, but there is nothing you can do in order to really prepare for that 4WD makes no difference.

Good luck on the move! And good luck with your pets! I had a husky once...I totally get why you love them!
