Glad to hear you found a place you love. As CC pointed out, there are some nice areas of Kettering, but the schools alone would be the selling point for Oakwood over Kettering. Not that Kettering doesn't offer a good education, Oakwood is just that good.

Dayton_Ohio, there is John Bryant State Park and Glen Helen Reserve. Both are highly recommended.

P.S. Not sure if it's true but I think it is, but Oakwood also clears your sidewalk in addition to your street. I understand this is because Oakwood has no bussing for their schools (the cities small enough and safe enough to do this) and kids have to walk to school. I've noticed Beavercreek does it along Dayton-Xenia Road where kids have to walk to school, but they surely don't clear everyone's sidewalk.

Heading back to Oakwood this weekend to look for houses. Have a list of homes we're interested in. Hopefully I'll find something and make an offer. Wish me luck!!

No luck in Oakwood this weekend We viewed 12 houses, but didn't find anything we we're excited about. Some needed too much work or we're too close to a busy street or a tad too small for our growing family.

We ventured over to Bellbrook and did find one place that was really neat. So we'll see what happens there...

If nothing else, we'll be back in a couple of weeks and continue the search.

Default Ashley's bakery!

Even if you move to Centerville, try Ashley's in Oakwood! Nick Lachey even loves it! Good luck!

Try Springboro. A lot of complaints on building issues on the newer housing developments but the best schools, neighborhoods and location. The highest rating in this area by mutual consensus. I live in Dayton but Springboro is the place to be.
