Share Guide

The largely residential neighborhood of North Riverdale, with a mix of apartments and single-family homes, sits a few miles northwest of downtown Dayton. With both the University of Dayton and Wright State University close by, the area's population changes somewhat in sync with the schools' schedules. Bus stops along N. Main Street, the main thoroughfare running north to south through the area, provide residents with easy access to public transportation around the city.

Residents don't have to leave the area to purchase food or groceries. Several neighborhood grocery stores, such as the Tropical Super Market and United Foods, stock their shelves with grocery staples and household items. Dayton Fish Company serves up platters of seafood and sandwiches and sells fresh fish to take home.

Residents enjoy the outdoors while walking or biking along the Great Miami River Recreational Trail, which runs along the eastern edge of the neighborhood. A family favorite in the neighborhood, the unique science-oriented Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, provides hands-on experience for those interested in all areas of science.
