Opinions on investing in Xenia

[Spencer Gray]

Hello fellow BPers and investors familiar with Dayton and the surrounding area.

I'm underwriting a multifamily deal in Xenia, OH and wanted to see if anyone has an opinion on the growth trajectory of the town and whether you like it as a market for investing. We already have a property in Dayton about 20 min away so we can get some management efficiencies between the two. 

I'm mostly familiar with the demographics, census information, but am more interested in the anecdotal knowledge and local opinion. 

Like why would someone live in Xenia vs elsewhere in the area? 

What attracts people and keeps them there?

Or do you hear of people wanting to get out and move elsewhere?

Any insight would be helpful, thanks!
