Residence Park

Residence Park is a long-established neighborhood on Dayton’s far west side, located northwest of the Gettysburg Avenue and W. Third Street intersection and just north of the Dayton Veterans Affairs Campus. Known for its quiet streets and strong community identity, the neighborhood remains a point of pride for many longtime residents.

Housing in Residence Park ranges from classic ranch-style homes to American Foursquare designs, giving the neighborhood a distinctive early-to-mid-century feel. Thurgood Marshall High School serves as a major anchor in the community, hosting school events, sports activities, and programs that bring families and neighbors together. Along with the International School being an anchor for our refugee population.

Residence Park’s neighborhood park continues to be a gathering place for residents. It hosts annual National Night Out events, neighborhood cleanups, family activities, and various community-led programs that support safety, youth engagement, and neighborhood beautification. In recent years, residents have been increasingly active in organizing volunteer projects and advocating for improvements to public spaces, walkability, and park amenities.

Ongoing neighborhood efforts, including collaborations with local partners and citywide initiatives, reflect Residence Park’s commitment to strengthening community ties and enhancing quality of life. With engaged residents, convenient access to nearby services, and a strong sense of place, Residence Park continues to grow as a welcoming and community-oriented corner of West Dayton.
