Just south of Downtown is the University Park neighborhood, and true to its name, the neighborhood largely encompasses the University of Dayton, a private Catholic institution founded by the Society of Mary in 1850 and the second-largest private university in Ohio.
The University campus is unique not just for its urban setting but also as one of the most residential campuses in the country, as 90% of students live in campus housing and the majority of juniors and seniors living in converted former NCR-built homes surrounding much of the academic buildings.
The neighborhood borders Miami Valley Hospital and also includes Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum (a 200-acre area and one of the oldest garden cemeteries in the United States), restaurants, bars, retail, and Carillon Historical Park, which hosts the world’s first practical airplane and its namesake, the Deeds Carillon.
Within University Park are two smaller residential neighborhoods, Rubicon, and Fairgrounds, both featuring tree-lined streets with mixes of Craftsman, Colonial, and Victorian homes.
