What it’s like to live in Old North Dayton
Old North Dayton offers shotgun homes near Wright-Patt AFB with original knob-and-tube wiring (limits appliance use). The Dayton Peace Museum provides free yoga, but real therapy happens at Tanks Bar’s $2 PBR nights. Sporadic gunfire echoes from abandoned Michigan Central Station lots.

What it’s like to live in Twin Towers
Historical significance shapes Twin Towers, where this east Dayton neighborhood takes its name from the distinctive St. Mary and Emmanuel Catholic Church spires visible throughout the district. Housing options include modest worker cottages and small apartment buildings with genuine architectural character at remarkably accessible price points. Unlike trendier districts commanding premium pricing despite minimal practical advantages, Twin Towers delivers authentic urban experiences with walkable amenities and excellent positioning near both downtown employment and the developing Wayne Avenue corridor creating balanced environments increasingly valued beyond purely status-oriented housing considerations.
