Park Layne, OH Home for Rent

Park Layne is a small, mostly residential community in west Clark County, located a few miles north of Dayton and west of Springfield. Once made up entirely of open fields, the land was platted for housing in the post-war years to serve Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and manufacturing plants in the Springfield-Dayton corridor. “It feels pretty tucked away when you’re there, but it's close enough to I-70 that you can get wherever you want pretty easily,” says Realtor and lifelong area resident Theresa Jennings of Re/Max Victory. “Not just the base: Huber Heights is just a few highway miles away, and Dayton and Springfield aren’t much further.” Most of the community’s housing inventory is made up of ranch-style homes built between 1955 and 1975, along with smaller clusters of split-levels. Most properties sell for between $160,000 and $250,000. Although Park Layne is surrounded by farmland, most of its homes are tightly gridded, and yards are relatively modest. The local public schools are overseen by the Tecumseh School District, which has a C-plus rating on Niche. Park Layne Elementary School has a B-plus rating, while both Tecumseh Middle School and Tecumseh High have C-pluses.
