Edgemont

Edgemont stretches along the Great Miami River, just steps from the city’s border with Moraine. Bordered by I-75, US-35, Nicholas Road, and Danner Avenue, the neighborhood blends charm and convenience. Tree-lined streets are filled with classic American Foursquares, cozy Cape Cods, and practical ranch homes, with the occasional apartment tucked in among them.

Edgemont is a neighborhood that loves to grow—literally. The Edgemont Solar Gardens on Miami Chapel Road is a community greenhouse where volunteers and Central State University students cultivate vegetables and herbs for neighbors to enjoy. Nearby, Burkham Park provides playgrounds, basketball courts, and walking paths, offering a quiet spot for families and neighbors to gather.

Nicholas Road serves as the neighborhood’s hub, buzzing with gas stations, local food spots, and Sam’s Market for everyday needs. The area is also seeing exciting new development, including a modern health facility being built by Five Rivers Health Center. Residents enjoy easy access to Carillon Historic Park, University of Dayton Arena, Welcome Stadium, and Welcome Park, making the neighborhood both practical and fun.

Edgemont is a place of quiet streets and big possibilities. From its community garden and local markets to parks and new development, it’s a neighborhood where history, growth, and neighborly connection come together—a storybook setting along Dayton’s riverfront.
