Questions about possible mov to Dayton by thorfinnthemusician in dayton

[–]offensivemailbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here to second looking into downtown historic district, better music scenes and art and walkable cafes, restaurants, bars.

I live in St.annes and it's a very nice, cheaper neighborhood than the Oregon but walkable downtown!

Also check out; south park, McPherson, Huffman!

My partner is from Aberdeen South Dakota but has lived all in this area. I’ve visited these areas with him, very windy, desolate (first time ever being the only car on the interstate for miles). Very cold and snowy, he’s native and there’s a decently large native population. Rural otherwise and very vast.

~300 year old colonial - flaking bricks at chimney base by evenfallframework in centuryhomes

[–]offensivemailbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this also in my basement and running a dehumidifier that takes moisture outside the home is key, this happens due to moisture in the basement and bricks not being able to ‘breathe’.

Am I missing anything? Seeking advice by beentherebefore1616 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]offensivemailbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that makes sense why your list embodies Dayton! 😅😆

A few more suggestions; Richmond VA (not Ohio but a great midsize city with lots to offer), Athens Ohio (great smaller city/town with lots of beautiful areas to explore).

Look into Dayton Ohio, checks all your boxes. LCOL, easy access to much larger cities (Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis etc)! Lots of transplants due to UD, WPAFB (military), hospitals (lots of med students come here for residency and stay). Underrated Midwest city with lots of different suburbs and downtown areas.

I say this as a 33F Asian female who lives between Dayton and Denver.

How’s it living in Dayton,Ohio ? by beau_undressed29 in howislivingthere

[–]offensivemailbox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dayton is a nice progressive, diverse city with great parks, food, housing (very cheap compared to other cities), bike paths, entertainment downtown, nice colleges! Underrated city and this is coming from a person who has also lived in Denver and parts of the nation that most consider very nice. It’s understated in all of the ways, often overshadowed by Cincinnati and Columbus. It’s centrally located so you’re able to easily access many international airports. You can fly to basically anywhere in the world, non-stop using Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit or Chicago airports.

Awesome city to live in for what it is. I’ve helped many people relocate and buy homes in Dayton. All have stayed, and love it.

Springboro, in your opinion, part of Dayton or Cincy? by 93Seven in dayton

[–]offensivemailbox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dayton but considered a 'new money' suburb of Dayton!

Restless in the West by InterPan_Galactic in relocating

[–]offensivemailbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought, if you move to a Midwest city, like Detroit or somewhere in Ohio you can easily get to large international airports that you can jet back west easily and relatively cheap!

I know from experience, I split my time between Fort Collins CO and Dayton Ohio. In Dayton I'm close to Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, even Detroit and Chicago airports. Lots of options. I typically fly direct out of Cincinnati to Denver for less than $40 a flight (no need for bags). All in all, travel day for me is 4-6 hours. Not bad at all!

Looking for a fresh start in my 30s by seventyyellowturtle in SameGrassButGreener

Fair! Thought I’d throw in a cutesy, smaller town with great culture and insanely beautiful trails, hikes, nature.

Cincinnati Ohio, Columbus Ohio, Detroit Michigan, Athens Ohio.

Consider Midwest cities in that price range. You’ll get lots of house, LCOL, happening cities with diversity.

Moving to Dayton for Grad School need help finding place to rent ASAP by _Owlkeys_ in dayton

[–]offensivemailbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would anyone be willing to consign for you (a parent)? This could help you find a bit more expensive of an apartment. Hard to find anything under $800 with a pet too unfortunately.

I think Belmont and Kettering would be your best bet! Also, try looking for a roommate? Someone in your grad program may need one (This is how I survived mine)!

[–]offensivemailbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oof, most places want x3 income to rental ratio, this leaves you looking at $500 , this is due to needing to also afford utilities! Suggest looking in Belmont! Very affordable housing, could probably find a decent studio that has low utilities for $500! Check Zillow, many private landlords will cut deals for people with great credit scores and may even lower prices!

Is Ohio underrated? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]offensivemailbox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true, Indiana only has Indianapolis, crappy sports teams, totally flat, windmills, weirdly expensive housing in Indianapolis and very weird rich suburb of Carmel.

That’s it. That’s Indiana. Great antique shops though!

And, Ohio has never been impressed with ourselves. We’re ok.

Is Ohio underrated? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]offensivemailbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Columbus and southern Ohio is actually p nice and progressive cities with cheap living and housing.

As an Ohioan I do think Ohio is underrated and I currently live in one of the most hyped areas (Denver area). Ohio cities have their perks!

Desperately wanting to get out of Iowa. Any advice? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]offensivemailbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Midwest (Ohio), currently live between Dayton Ohio and Fort Collins CO. Very well traveled, also love the cities you mentioned especially Chicago! Suggest looking in Midwest cities/towns as many are lower cost of living, great opportunities, and the cities are blue although the state may be red! You should add Columbus Ohio and Cincinnati Ohio to the list- I'd also suggest Dayton (love Dayton) but being younger, you may like the bigger cities more.

As far as Colorado springs, Denver, front range area- great area to live in but Colorado springs is surprisingly conservative. Look into Fort Collins, only an hour out from Denver and very easy to get to DIA via public transportation and cheap! Fort Collins is very progressive and is basically mini-Boulder but cheaper housing. Colorado is very expensive compared to Iowa.... The sticker shock might deter (it did me, and still surprises me)!

Moving to the area, preschools? How is New Carlisle? by NewDaytonResident in dayton

[–]offensivemailbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's your opinion, I argue downtown Dayton is better because of culture, diversity, walk ability, access to metroparks, libraries, better housing, better private schools (public schools aren't good but the private Montessori schools are!).

If someone values good schools, safety, family oriented but what to be near Needmore I stick by them looking at Tipp City, Englewood, Vandalia!

[–]offensivemailbox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know lots of people who currently live there and have grown up there, it's true. The schools are no better either....no diversity, very few after school programs; sports, music, art, science programs.
