Why Dayton? 

Just a year ago my brother and his fiancee chose Dayton as their wedding destination. We were surprised by the beauty, fun, and accessibility of the area. While their wedding was right outside of the city at Cedar Springs Pavillion (a gorgeous venue if you are in the market!), we started with the rehearsal dinner at Dayton Beer Company — a staple downtown. Let’s just say the vibes were everything we wanted and more — with a fun, casual interior, great drinks, and personable staff, it’s exactly where you want to find yourself after a long day unwinding with good food and good friends. Guests stayed at the AC Hotel Dayton, a stylish hotel right in the city with a rooftop bar and kitchen that was the perfect place for the hotel guests and outside friends alike, to gather together and enjoy the downtown scenery. Silver Slipper and The Southern Belle Tavern were both stops throughout our stay — a fun wine/small bites spot and a popular dive bar respectively. We could confidently say that Dayton had officially won us over by the end of the weekend.

Outside of good food and drinks, and casual fun, Dayton real estate growth has been steadily increasing, proving the area to be a strong, emerging destination — perfect for anyone looking for a new place to relocate, and peace of mind in terms of stability for the locals. According to Downtown Dayton’s Midyear 2025 report, “Downtown Dayton appears to be experiencing a year of significant growth and transformation.” New hotels, businesses, updated buildings, and the renovation of the convention center all point to the same story — Dayton is booming. It’s the place to be! The Dayton market shows a 10% year-over-year increase, signaling a steady buyer confidence. This highlights Dayton’s thriving economy and major employer presence such as the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, CareSource, Premier Health Partners, Reynolds and Reynolds, Dayton’s Children's Hospital, and more. Whether you work in the health-care field, military, software/technology, or many others — Dayton is a reliable area for employment, convenience, and affordable living. 

In our last blog we looked at the pros and cons of renting v. buying right now, and in short, we found there are a host of reasons people are choosing to rent in this current economy — so this begs the question, where can you find the best apartments in Dayton, Ohio? And maybe even a better question that you may not have thought to ask is, who should you rent from?

Oakwood’s Expansive Growth – Choosing a Trustworthy Apartment Management Company 

Whether it’s your first time renting or you’ve been through the process before — there is one thing we can all agree on, customer service — intentionality, professionalism, and communication, are a MUST. No one wants to add another task to their calendar to “follow-up with the maintenance department”… or worry that something new will change with their community and they won’t be notified. I remember visiting several apartment communities when I was looking to first rent and my initial thought was always the same, can I really trust these people? Your apartment is your home. It’s not optional — it’s absolutely necessary that you know you can expect reliability, attentive support, and quick responses to any immediate concerns. 

That’s where Oakwood comes in. 

It’s not a coincidence that in the past 5 years, Oakwood has added more than 5,000 units and has managed over 20 lease-ups during that time period. And for those that may not be well-versed in apartment lingo, a lease-up is the initial phase of a new apartment company. Oakwood has walked through all aspects of property management — from the first hard hat tours, to stabilizing occupancy, to continuing unmatched service in the long-term.

Oakwood continues to be a trusted leader in the property management sphere. We take great pride in our achievements because we recognize it’s the people within our company that live out our values and mission day after day. Both our employees and residents are family — and there’s nothing we wouldn’t do for our family. So whether it’s quick maintenance service, adding premium finishes to our units, community amenities with things like health and fitness goals in mind, community and recreation outlets, and even perks for pets — we care about it all. And we are grateful to continue adding more people into our family with every new unit.
