City of Dayton
The pulse of Dayton is in its neighborhoods - in the 62 varied
and vibrant communities that spread out from the flood plain of
the Great Miami River into the surrounding hills.
Bounded by the Mad River to the
east, and the Stillwater River to the west, the northeastern
quadrant of Dayton is a mixture of stable, working-class
neighborhoods, industrial complexes, green space and in the far
north new, residential developments catering to upscale
professionals.

Clayton
Great schools, beautiful land, a convenient locale, and a
commitment to rural preservation are reasons people and
businesses are locating in Clayton. You'll frequently hear our

who combined 'northern' and 'Montgomery,' to name our new school
district. Served by the Northmont school system. (832-5000)

charming downtown, cozy neighborhoods, booming commerce parks and

Huber Heights
The fact that Huber Heights developed initially as a satellite
"bedroom" community of Dayton is one reason why no clearly

Tipp City
In honor of William Henry Harrison's presidential campaign

unofficially added City, and it was called this until 1938, when
the legal name was shortened to Tipp City. Tipp City's small-town
historic charm 25 minutes due north of Dayton's metropolitan
attractions make it an ideal place to visit Ð or to put down
roots. Served by the Tipp City Exempted School District.
