Centerville

Centerville, founded in 1796, is one of the oldest communities in Ohio. The heart of the city has been designated as an architectural preservation district to retain and maintain its historic heritage. From its early beginning as a small cross road and stagecoach-stop farming community, Centerville is now a high quality, modern residential community.

Centerville is located in Washington Township in the southern half of Montgomery County, about six miles south of Dayton. Although the city and township are separate political entities, they are often accepted as a single residential community and together they cover nearly 32 square miles. The 2000 census reported a combined Centerville and Washington Township population of 52,991.

An extensive variety of housing is available, ranging from apartments and condominiums to luxury housing. The art of living is fine and competitively affordable with houses ranging in price from $150,000 to over $1,000,000.

The hustle and bustle of business activity exist side-by-side with quiet, tree-lined streets, community and neighborhood parks, plus nature areas and swim clubs, attractions that complement available tennis and basketball courts, as well as baseball, football and soccer fields. The 50,000 square foot Washington Township Recreation Center provides opportunities for both active and passive recreation, possessing a natatorium with 2 indoor swimming pools. Centerville is also home to the nationally-recognized Golf Club at Yankee Trace, a 27-hole championship facility with a country club atmosphere.
