Oakwood - The Wright City
Deciding on a place to live can feel difficult - especially in a larger metropolitan area. Orville Wright thought the same thing and decided on a location that not only captured the magic of Dayton but gave him plenty of space to flourish - Oakwood, Ohio! This city of now 9,202 people has a storied history that's attracted happy families since its incorporatino in 1908.
The City
As mentioned above, the city of Oakwood was officially incorporated over 100 years ago and saw its largest spike in growth after the Great Dayton Flood when folks moved to higher, safer ground. The city expanded to accommodate these new citizens and claims more than just Orville as famous residents - John Henry Patterson, the founder of the National Cash Register Corporation, was given the nickname the "Father of Oakwood". Alongside all of this, the Runnymede Playhouse hosted a subsection of the Manhattan project during the Second World War, dubbed the "Dayton Project" in Runnymede Playhouse. Now that's quite a history! Pictured here is Orville Wright's famous home, "Hawthorn Hill", built in 1914. Wilbur intended to live there as well but sadly died before its completion.
The Housing
With the history down, it's time to crack into Oakwood's current housing options. As of right now, the average house price is $333,000 with most homes having been built between 1910 and 1940. The local schools have been lauded as some of the best in Ohio and the nation as a whole - so know that quality education is one of the most important tenets the city adheres to. It also boasts a Department of Public Safety that requires all of its members to be certified police officers, firefighters and emergency medical services officers - meaning your safety will always be guaranteed.
