Close-set homes and walkable blocks
East of downtown Dayton, Linden Heights is mostly composed of walkable grid-style blocks of single-family houses surrounding Linden Avenue, the main thoroughfare of businesses and bus stops. To park, residents usually have detached garages and on-street parking. The homes often feature smaller yards with garden beds for a close-set feel. Architectural styles include American Foursquares, bungalows, colonials and colorfully painted brick houses. The area’s sales prices range from $125,000 for a bungalow to $180,000 for a renovated American Foursquare. “It’s a smaller and older neighborhood that’s more affordable,” says Miranda Biedenharn who has 15 years of experience in the area and works with Comey & Shepherd REALTORS.
