Dayton Reviews
Rating 3.69 out of 5 342 reviews
Dayton is a great small city to raise a family. The are great job opportunities with several large employers. There are fun activities such as the Dayton dragons baseball team and museums to occupy your time. I also enjoy trying our local restaurants there are so many I’ll never catch up! Things I’d like to see change is the sprit of a lot of residents. About our city a moral boost would help this city flourish. Overall I love Dayton and am grateful to have been raised here.
I moved to Dayton last year when I married an enlisted member of the Air Force. I love this area. There are so many career opportunities. Being from a rural area and a very small town, I didn’t experience much diversity growing up; that’s another thing I love about Dayton. There are so many different types of people and lots of languages being spoken. It’s an amazing change of pace!
I have come to love Dayton and embrace it as "home". The people are generally friendly, helpful and care about the community. Dayton is a unique place where you can find diversity. It has feel of being a small community, but when you look at the city and surrounding suburbs, you realize it is quite large. It's one of those places where it is likely that many of your friends are connected. Because of the low cost of living, it is a good place to buy a home a raise a family. There are available jobs and opportunities to start businesses as well. On the other hand, it is a bit transient and you find folks leaving for bigger cities and opportunities. Because of the manufacturing jobs that left decades ago, downtown Dayton is still feeling the affects. You can tell when you drive through and see the abandon buildings. After the recent tornado and shooting in the Oregon district, it has been tough. However, we are "Dayton Strong". We can rally together and get through this!
