New Carlisle, OH Homes for Rent

New Carlisle is a small town with a rural feel just a short drive from both the north Dayton suburbs and Springfield. Founded by migrants from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the early 19th century, the town's economy was based around farming for most of its existence. These days, however, locals are more likely to commute to Dayton, Springfield or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for work. "A lot of communities in the area are entirely residential, but New Carlisle definitely has more of a small-town feel," says Realtor Theresa Jennings of Re/Max Victory, who has worked in the area for over 16 years. "Things revolve around Main Street. It's kind of like a meeting place for the entire town." Housing options in New Carlisle are typical of the north Dayton suburbs. Midcentury ranch-style homes are common, as are turn-of-the-century bungalows and cottages. A few contemporary homes can also be found around the outskirts of town.

Homes in the area generally sell for between $140,000 and $380,000, though larger homes
