Diverse, clean and safe community! Schools are great! Ideal place to raise a family. We need more local activities. (Skating rinks, indoor play areas)
I love my life in Dayton. The schools are great, and it’s very safe here. Also, the houses here are amazing!
I think that the education system in Dayton, NJ is definitely one of the best and is the main reason why my parents chose to settle down in Dayton. South Brunswick High School is a very intense public school, which makes it great for children because it truly prepares them for the reality of college. It is a relatively safe middle-upper middle class town, with a pretty low crime rate. Dayton is great for younger families, however it would not be fun for young adults without children. There are a lot of places to eat but there isn't much outside of that; there is no solid nightlife or fun spot for young adults. Being a current resident at 22 years of age, I find myself going to the neighboring towns/cities of New Brunswick or Princeton for a nice experiences.
