I absolutely LOVED living in Dayton!! And I was about as poor as it gets, lol! I’ve lived in 5 different cites in Ohio, and it’s by far the best!
i was born in Dayton, raised in Beavercreek and I have lived in Springboro for 24 years. I love living in the Dayton area. Three other pros I would have mentioned in a video like this: 1. The extensive network of bicycle trails, over 350 miles, one of the largest such networks in the nation. 2. The Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts the Dayton Philharmonic, Opera, and Ballet, and also touring Broadway shows, such as "Frozen," which my wife and I and hundreds of little "Elsas" and "Annas" saw this week. 3. the Second Street Market, a wonderful place to shop, eat, and greet your neighbors.
You are so right!
I agree. In particular the Little Miami Bike trail is an absolute gem. Dayton also has a fair number of colleges / universities for a town of it's size. Yellow Springs is one of the few places I have seen in Ohio that has a unique story and has developed organically. The vibe in downtown Dayton has really changed at this point and there are some very exciting things happening: the Arcade, Hotels, Baseball Stadium, unique bars, etc- but people will stay in the 'Burbs for socializing until things develop a more corporate look/feel with brand names, etc.

@@danwohlslagel1277 Typical real estate agent b.s. Don't fall for it.
Thanks Carrie. I'm slowly searching affordable cities after many years in CA. I also have to decide if I want to go back to rust belt weather in that pursuit (I'm from utica, ny). Ohio is getting attention lately for being a great place to save money as I'm sure you might know.
I moved to Dayton almost 50 years ago. 75 has been torn up and under construction almost the whole time causing many wrecks. If you drive through the city you can easily get 30 red lights in a row!
The burbs that surround Dayton are shitholes. No responsible adult would want to raise their kids in the Miami Valley.
I once heard someone say that our state bird is the Orange Barrel.
I was raised in Mad River Township now Riverside my Father is retired USAF..I've moved to Nashville but Daddy still lives there..Dayton will always be home to me.
I’m in Germantown. Peaceful out here in the country and only a few min from Miamisburg/West Carrollton.
Lovely video, greetings from Northern Ireland. Hope one day I’ll move to Dayton ❤
I am 45 minutes from Dayton, and want to live in Ireland 😊
Great first video! I am looking for a lower cost of living near shopping and restaurants, trails and parks where I can take my toddler grandson. Thanks! I am retired from and am actively seeking an LCMS church close by. Thanks! What video do you suggest I watch to get an overview of the different neighborhoods near Kettering? Thanks again!
I'm pretty okay with cold weather during winter and short very hot summer. I like low paced living and balanced quiet lifestyle. This to be sure is full weigh city but not so heavily populated and polluted as most people expect when they consider living in urban.
Limited diversity? In Springboro maybe, but the diversity in Dayton is far from limited.
Could you provide some examples in a tabular form?
Yep, lily White Springboro overrun with HOA Karens is hardly a good barometer of life in Dayton
@@woxyroxme Springboro is the most overrated town in Dayton. It’s a truck stop town with a nice golf course and a Dorothy Lane Market.
@@TheRodFarvaspringboro is closer to Cincinnati than Dayton in my opinion
@@GHO5tMod3 Springboro is 17 miles from Dayton and 38 miles from Cincinnati.
Hello, approximately how much is the rent of a house in downtown? Or what places is recommended to rent a house near?
Thanks for this video. If you can comment, how would you compare Dayton to Huntsville, AL?
Unfortunately, I have never been to Huntsville so I really can't compare the 2. Do you have any specific questions that I can maybe look into?
I have lived in the Dayton, Ohio area for over 35 years and live closer to Yellow Springs/Clifton areas Ohio now.....about 45 minutes or less from Dayton. In my 35+ years living in the Dayton area....including Dayton, Ohio itself....I am glad to have finally moved further away from Dayton. I go to Dayton a lot for my doctor's appts and have family that lives in north Dayton which I visit quite a bit. I dealt with all kinds of crap while living in Dayton, but the area was higher crime area. I never got my vehicle stolen, but did have my house broken into twice. May need to carry a firearm like a pistol for defense in some areas of Dayton at night. Shopping is decent in the Dayton area and there are all kinds of outdoor things to do. They have a great bike trail network from Montgomery County into Greene County, excellent thing there. I love the Air Force Museum in East Dayton and visit it once a year usually. Great local places to eat and we got Smales soft pretzels in East Dayton.....yummy! Weather is typical mid-western weather, hot humid summers, nice springs, cold dry winters with very little snow and decent falls usually. I have family dotted all over the Dayton area and will stay in the western Ohio area til I pass on. Overall cost of living here in the Dayton/western Ohio areas is not too bad. Sure beats Cincinnati area for sure. Good video.
Do you help those who are looking for a plce in fairborn and riverside areas?
Can u give idea about rent of private room near to wright state university? How difficult it is to find accomodation there?
How accessible is it for someone in a wheelchair? Renting apartments, being able to get into public building, and overall living there?
The newer apartment buildings will be more accessible than older buildings in the area. Dayton RTA is the bussing service in our area. www.iriderta.org/about/accessibility This is their information for riders with disabilities.
@@movingtodayton Dayton is nationally known for a lack of apartments and few laws to protect renters.
Try the pizza at joes pizza on airway rd
Joe's pizza is my husband's fave!!
Does Joe's have a stomach pump?
Thank you miss Daytona beautiful
Thanks for the infor, what about jobs? People has to commute to Cincinnati or there are jobs in the area?
She nailed it!
Thanks!!
Real estate agents are incredibly dishonest.
Dayton has a low cost of living and it’s very convenient to get anywhere with low traffic
I would be more interested in the investment property aspect of Dayton. Let’s see more videos on that subject, please.
I will work on that!
The Pine Club Steakhouse is reason enough to move to Dayton. Best steakhouse in the country . . . period.
My husband agrees wholeheartedly with you!
Considering applying for jobs near Dayton. Could you tell me how safe it is overall?
Due to Fair Housing laws I am not permitted to comment on that. I can tell you to check out Niche.com for that kind of information.
@@movingtodayton Sounds like that translates into high crime area!
Dayton is pretty safe if you stay in the right areas. Like any Midwest city there are some areas that are rundown and were subjected to decades of divestment and redlining. Luckily it is very very easy to avoid the Westside and never have to deal with those problems. Basically if you have the money to choose where you want to live, you can easily live in one of the many nice suburbs or the Eastside neighborhoods that are very safe and are still very affordable (except Oakwood, which is pretty posh and overpriced).
@@miket7184it is like any Midwestern city. It is super easy to avoid high crime neighborhoods and anyone who is moving to Dayton is probably moving to the southern and eastern suburbs anyways because that is where most of the jobs are located. Basically avoid the West side of the city and use basic common sense and you will be just fine.
I Absolutely love living in Dayton! ❤️
How is the crime overall?
Most of the crime is in west Dayton, along west 3rd street near Gettysburg and Germantown streets
For a city that has birthed some of the greatest and pioneering funk bands of all-time, the "limited diversity" is surprising. If Dayton has gentrified since the days of those groups, that is also surprising given, what is indicated, is the "struggling downtown," limited lifestyle and car-centric nature of the city; although I do see the affordability plus location to three major cities.
I would say thay Dayton is a great place if you have a car and a middle class income. There are amazing parks surrounding the city and cool things to do in easy driving distance whichever direction you go. If you dont own a car, Dayton (especially the west side) is a living hell. Given that anyone who has the economic freedom to choose where they live is probably at least middle class and certainly has a car, Dayton gives you pretty good bang for your buck. Granted I personally would prefer to move to a blue state given how insane the GOP has become and while Dayton has some protections, it is still run by the GOP at the state level, but Dayton isnt a terrible place to end up.
Dayton🎉❤
Get high, get high, listen to records, get high.
Just moved to springboro. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Welcome!! You're going to love it here!
Good luck finding a grocery store, dopey.
If you’re not from Dayton and come from a larger city and you’re 55 and under No , the surrounding suburbs are beautiful and lot of parks etc but night life gets old there quick
It’s affordable to live here oakwood, Kettering and centerville Union and englewood are nice suburbs they are actually affordable suburbs in comparison to where I’m from Michigan
I do not recommend Dayton for young single people in the long run or even younger African American people that are from bigger cities you will get bored quick within a few years
I do recommend Dayton for people that are seeking employment in the medical field
If you have a small family just got married or a single parent there’s ton of programs and housing here even buying a house in Montgomery county is highly affordable
I recommend downtown Cincinnati and Franklin county Ohio for people that are from bigger cities with no kids so you won’t get bored easily after 2 years Greene and Montgomery county for families and people looking for medical jobs
Thank you so much for your point of view! It's nice to get different perspectives!
I went to UC and my first job out of college was in Dayton and I would say Cincinnati was a lot more boring and the only place that is as cool as the Oregon district would be Royal Oak Michigan
@@woxyroxmeit depends Cincinnati area has changed a lot more social activities in that region for younger people and even the Kentucky boarder you have the museum, bb river boat, nicer casino than in Dayton , few more nature parks etc
Ferndale Michigan is more like the Oregon district which is not far from royal oak Michigan has more of a night life scene than several parts of Dayton and Cincinnati combined
There’s Birmingham, Detroit, Southwest Detroit for Mexican Town, Windsor Ontario Canada across the Detroit river, Sterling Heights, East pointe etc
I am also speaking from the perspective of someone who attended college in Dayton and as a young black woman in my 20s at the time I’m 30 now.
It was boring to me after 6 years living there because Montgomery county isn’t that big and Greene county isn’t either. I had no children, wasn’t married and I felt like the city catered more to families it was beautiful to see all of the parks but the night life became old quickly because there were a handful of clubs and the clubs were different where I was from. Even the casino was dull.
When I went to Columbus I had more fun there , way more people little bit more diverse and a larger city. Dayton I felt as if I kept driving in circles there lol 😂 Cincinnati had the zoo, Kentucky across the street, several museums, more nature parks, bigger casino but I’m not going to lie after 2 years max of staying there I would need to go somewhere else because that would get old quick.
I’m used to cities like Chicago and their surrounding suburbs. It’s so much to explore everyday.
Ur absolutely gorgeous!!!
Tell everyone sbout the great part of West Dayton.
That is where the diversity is
High crime and sorry schools.
Is it good for an international to move in for study and work ?
Absolutely, we have several places for higher education, University of Dayton, Wright State, Sinclair just to name a few. And we have so many job opportunities in the area.
It was a lot better a decade ago. Unfortunately Wright State has all but imploded and is a ghost of its former self (due to really bad mismanagement and corruption under their former President). The University of Dayton is still strong.
The biggest problem with moving to Dayton is you really do need a car to do almost anything. Want to enjoy any of the nature or parks around Dayton? You will need a car. Want to go out to eat with friends, you will probably need a car because most of the food options are in suburban malls that are only accessible by cars. Have a local internship or even a part time job off campus, you will sure as hell need a car.
@@jonathanbowers8964 thank you for the information ℹ️
Cons: Not a lot going on
Pros: Not a lot going on
Well there is a lot going on if you are willing to drive an hour east, South, or west. Dayton is really close to Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis all of which have pretty great urban amenities. Not to mention the amazing amount and quality of the parks surrounding Dayton, especially Yellow Springs (which is Dayton's best kept secret). But if you really want to be in the heart of the action (ala NYC or Chicago) Dayton isn't the best place.
To put it bluntly, Dayton is an amazing place if you want to raise a suburban family and don't mind driving an hour on the weekends to go to Cincinnati or Columbus. If you want to be in a 24-7 party atmosphere or live in a car free urban environment, Dayton really isn't the right place for you (Chicago is your best bet for that in the Midwest). If you want to be away from people and live in nature and largely off the grid, Dayton also isn't really the place for that either. Although Dayton has decent access to nature, it is still very much a collection of suburbs with parks in the periphery (although they are still easily accessible). You will still have to deal with traffic at 5pm every weekday, especially if you live around 675 or in the southern part of the metro area and have to deal with the pains of suburbia.
TL;DR Dayton is great if you want to live the middle class suburban lifestyle and are willing to put on a jacket in winter.
@@jonathanbowers8964 oh I've lived here all my life lol I like it. Its home. I've grown to appreciate it more the older I've gotten
I've been to plenty of major cities; Dayton IMO is very nice, small and diverse. Hopefully, it stays this way.
Agree!
Did you learn a lot sitting in the airport lounge?
937🍁🍁👋
Population:
Dayton 140k
Metro 850k
Yep. It is a collection of suburbs with a few minor districts downtown. What that means is that everything you want to do requires a car. If you don't like driving or don't want to own a car, Dayton is not the place for you.
She is presenting a sanitized version of Dayton. Terrible crime and lousy schools .
As a former resident of Dayton and a current resident of Miamisburg,
Don't live in North Dayton, at least. Or West.
Yeah. In general the suburbs have the best quality of life, but some of the eastern neighborhoods in Dayton proper (ala Belmont) are pretty decent if you are young and don't care about school districts.
This woman is a FOX! Dayton isn't bad to live. Downtown is looking alot better and most of the bike paths are done now.
She did a great job explaining Dayton.
Thanks and compliments get you the youtube commenter of the day!!
I prefer Cleveland
🤣Fair enough!!
Cleveland sucks.
just kidding everybody knows Cleveland rocks.
@@j.woodgardNah Clevelands has the Browns...and they suck.
you're beautiful
Limited diversity? B.S. The public schools ate crap.
Dayton Is A Blank Hole
Dayton has problem areas but on whole it is full of beauty and rich in its history. I was born and raised here 53yrs and I've been to 3 different countries and over 17 states. Dayton and our great state of Ohio is beautiful.
@@marlomirre161 Are you a disabled veteran?
@@user-yp9nz6bs9q what does that have to do with anything I said? Pretty random question. Im not but my brother is,he served in Kuwait and Iraq with the 82nd Airborne. He also lives here and agrees with me. So again I ask you,why the question and how does it apply here?
Dayton is a donut city that has a relatively hollowed out core, but a strong suburban economy. More than 75% of the region lives in the suburbs and most of the jobs are concentrated along 675 (the eastern and southern suburbs) so the city proper is much smaller than you would expect.
What that means is that Dayton is a place where a car is 100% a necessity for you to have a meaningful quality of life. There are still urban amenities but it is really easy to drive to Columbus and Cincinnati to experience a "real city". You also have a lot of nature nearby and tons of entertainment options (especially if you drive just a bit south to Mason/Monroe to what is essentially a miniature Orlando surrounding Kings Island). All in all that is great if you don't mind driving and want to live the middle class suburban lifestyle (which is dying out in much of the country due to insane housing prices).
Smh no diversity is a pro, I'm done
Absolutely not!! I address the lack of diversity in the cons segment.
Yes! Keep me with the Whites! 😂
Think they got mixed up cuz u said "pros" right after that segment, u know us simple minded guys 😁😁
I’m Mexican and I agree with your comment. Statistics don’t care about your feelings.
Dayton doesn’t have a lot of actual diversity… just a lot of that one high crime group. Definitely a place to avoid.
