Dayton Reviews
Rating 4.18 out of 5 11 reviews
I love being in Dayton because it is a very pretty drive all seasons. Dayton is more isolated, so if you like living farther away from busy roads and cities this is the place to be. There are cornfields along many of the roads as they wind around lakes and hillsides, among small communities and neighborhoods. The only thing I would like to see change is the upcoming warehouses being built in the Rogers and Dayton area off 81.
Dayton offers beautiful country - like views without having to be crazy far from the city. In addition to its country feel it features some amazing new construction style homes. Dayton is also conveniently placed between the cities of rogers, champlin, and anoka for easy access to highways and in city type businesses.
I love the more rural setting that is still only 30 minutes to downtown Minneapolis! It is a great place to raise children with good schools, plenty of parks and trails, and easy access to the Mississippi River and local lakes.
