What Renters Like and Dislike
What Renters Like and Dislike About Dayton
I can't say there is nothing unique. We do have a school nearby with a place to workout and swim. Also, there are a few restaurants near.
I like the house I bought and fixed up. The neighbors behind my house are very nice and courteous. The cops are pretty prompt when you call them.
I like we can drive quickly to services. Our family is also five minutes away from our house. We like being in this part of our town.
I like how quiet it is and for the most part everyone keeps to themselves. There's a mall nearby that has a ton of dining options. We like going to the stores and restaurants over there.
I like that we have good neighborhood watch and protective over people they make sure nothing happen
My circle neighborhood back here is clean and decent but still crime happens. Cars meet for drug exchanges right outside on our circle all the time. We like the New York Pizzaria place a lot. They have really good food. There is a Carry Out that my husband really loves. I think hes messing around with the supervisor there but not much proof. I like going places but never get to go.

Everything to Know about finding apartments for rent in Dayton, OH
As one of the two principal anchor cities of the populous southwestern Ohio region, Dayton is a thriving city boasting world-class amenities and attractions. Whether you've come to the Dayton area to attend school or to work for one of the region's thriving tech firms, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dayton is a one-of-a-kind city, and it has been blazing trails to the future for more than a century. There’s so much potential in the area for those looking at apartments for rent in Dayton.
DID YOU KNOW?
In the early 1900s, the city was commonly called the "Invention Capital" of the U.S. for birthing such innovations like the cash register, parking meter, parachute, ice cream cone, in-room air conditioner, airbag and black light.
DAYTON ATTRACTIONS
As the self-proclaimed "Birthplace of Aviation," Dayton attracts throngs of visitors who want to see where the Wright Brothers got their start. At nearby Huffman Prairie Flying Field, it's possible to see the hangar and landing strip the two brothers used after returning from North Carolina. Today, Dayton International Airport continues to host the world-famous Vectren Dayton Air Show.
Of course, the city is known for more than just aviation milestones. Downtown Dayton and the nearby Midtown district boast dozens of boutiques, fine dining establishments and art galleries.
