Ah, yes. The Oregon District! Home to many amazing local businesses! Dublin Pub, Alpha and Omega, Ned’s, Roost, Blind Bob’s, Lily’s, Salar, and Hole in the Wall, just to only name a few… The Historical Oregon District has been around since the 1800’s and can you believe the property back then only cost $2,000?! Wow! The fun fact here is that the Oregon District was one of the FIRST few properties in Dayton! So much fun rich culture to explore!
You may have heard about Bellbrook – as one of the southern Greater Dayton communities, people looking for their next home may consider Bellbrook as a place to check out! There are many great features to Bellbrook: award winning BAND Performances, an active Lions Club, and don’t forget – the SUGAR MAPLE FESTIVAL! This Fesitval is usually held in April and is a great time for the family and friends to come out and experience all that Bellbrook has to offer. Activities include a Pancake Breakfast, 5k Run, a Parade – complete with “Sweetheart Contest” as well as a dog show, recycled sculpture contest, and many more children’s activities.
Located in Greene County, Bellbrook is home to just over 7,000 residents and is full of home-town feel with modern edge. The opportunity for LIVING in Bellbrook can be in such a demand – that our listing taken in JANUARY (when most people would wait to list until the Spring) was under contract “SOLD” in 6 days!

Okay, okay, maybe not the next best thing and maybe not even new for most people, but it sure is new to me! Since moving back to the Dayton area I have had the hardest time finding a new groomer for my pampered pooches. From being wildly expensive to just down right dirty. A few weeks ago I took a trip to my local pet store Pet Valu to buy my black lab Baylee diapers, she is an old lady and needs those sort of things (Oh what fun!). The whole store was recently remodeled and they added a self serve dog wash! This may not be exciting to some but when you have a 75 lb walking ball of fur that is bound and determined to clog your bathtub drain this is a game changer (see her picture? Isn’t she cute?).
I was so intrigued by this, coming from Jacksonville, NC there was nothing like this. I can bring my dog and wash her in someone else’s tub and they clean up after me? Yes please! This particular store offers everything you need for your washing needs, a big tub with steps, removable sprayer, towels, apron,shampoo,conditioner, blow dryer, and my favorite the FURminator . All of this for only $10. When speaking to a few of the local groomers and getting price quotes some wanted as much as $60 just for a wash. I love the idea of these self serve dog washes, it is a great money saving opportunity and is totally worth not having to clean my drain out. I hope to see more of these pop up in our great community.
I know many of us have been “burned” when it comes to maintenance, repairs and contractors. This INFO-GRAPHIC is a great visual aid in helping YOU to AVOID the Scam…
If you and I have met, you probably figured out that I support our military…more than just in words – but also in deeds! I continue to be an active part of the Blue Star Mothers, Miami Valley Chapter #3, currently serving as the Chapter President for a second term and previously in other capacities as well. I know from my own experience with my son serving – that the demands and needs of our military is often UNDER-SERVED. I WILL ENSURE THAT I ASSIST IN THE MEANS THAT I AM ABLE SO THAT OUR MILITARY ARE BETTER SERVED! This goes well with being TRAINED in the VA Loan Process – beyond what is typical and knowing the basics and to adding a DESIGNATION for the service that I can provide as a Military Relocation Professional. I am proud of the MRP designation, but even more proud of those WHO ANSWER THE CALL TO SERVE OUR NATION. As a Broker, I am in a unique position to go above and beyond and my actions speak for themselves. I HIRE MILITARY who are seeking to add Real Estate to their professional careers (after their service, retirement, or as a second source of income.) If you are looking to make a MOVE for your Military Needs – please be sure to give me the opportunity to THANK YOU for your service – by offering the BEST IN REAL ESTATE SERVICE for YOU.
