Centerville, Ohio Real Estate

Centerville, Ohio Real Estate

Centerville is one of the more affluent suburbs south of Dayton, and the easiest way to understand it is to
split it in two. There’s the Centerville Historic District along Main Street and Wilmington
Pike — genuinely old, nineteenth-century buildings and homes with real architectural character — and then
there’s the newer Centerville that spread outward through the second half of the twentieth century into the
subdivisions most buyers actually tour today.

Why Centerville commands a premium

Centerville City Schools is the single biggest reason. It’s one of the highest-regarded
public districts in the Dayton metro, and it shows up directly in what homes cost inside its boundaries versus
just outside them. Low crime and a well-kept, established look throughout the city do the rest.

Housing stock

The historic district has genuinely old homes that come with genuinely old-home considerations —
foundations, wiring, additions done at different points over 150 years. Away from downtown, the housing shifts
to the larger single-family subdivisions built from the 1970s through today, with newer, higher-end
construction toward the city’s southern and eastern edges.

Nearby

Centerville sits close to the retail corridor shared with Beavercreek — The Mall at Fairfield
Commons and The Greene are both a short drive away — while Bill Yeck Park
gives the city its own large green space without leaving the city limits.
