Why I Love Beavercreek, Ohio
What makes Beavercreek, Ohio, one of the best places to live? As a local resident, I might be a little biased in my answer, but hear me out. I grew up in Beavercreek, attending Fairbrook Elementary, Ankeney Middle School, and graduating from Beavercreek High School. To this day, I live across the street from my parents in the same neighborhood where I spent my childhood.
While Beavercreek has changed over the years, it remains a fantastic place to call home.
A Growing Community
When I was growing up, Beavercreek’s population was around 30,000. Today, that number is closer to 50,000. The growth since the ‘90s has brought more opportunities, amenities, and diversity to our city while still maintaining its welcoming atmosphere.
Suburban Convenience Meets Rural Charm
One of the unique aspects of Beavercreek is its ability to offer the best of both worlds. Depending on where you live, you can enjoy the vibrant suburban energy or a more tranquil rural setting with acreage—all while staying close to modern conveniences.
Shopping, Entertainment, and Dining
Whether you’re on the north or south side of Beavercreek, you’ll find easy access to shopping, entertainment, and dining options. The Mall at Fairfield Commons and The Greene Town Center offer plenty of choices for retail therapy, movies, and restaurants.
Perfect Location for Travel
Beavercreek’s location is another major advantage. With quick access to I-675, I-75, and U.S. Route 35, getting anywhere is a breeze. Cincinnati and Columbus are just an hour away, while Indianapolis is only a two-hour drive. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a weekend getaway, Beavercreek’s central location makes it easy.
Employment Opportunities
The area is rich with job opportunities. Wright State University (WSU), the University of Dayton (UD), Premier Health Network, Kettering Health Network, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), and Wright-Patt Credit Union are all within a short commute. These institutions provide careers in education, healthcare, research, banking, and technology, making Beavercreek an attractive option for professionals.
Parks and Outdoor Activities
Beavercreek is home to numerous parks, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. Dominick Lofino Park and Shoup Park are local favorites for walking, picnicking, and enjoying the fresh air. For nature enthusiasts, Creekside Reserve, Russ Nature Reserve, and The Narrows Nature Reserve provide beautiful trails and wildlife viewing.
Hunting and Wildlife
If you’re into hunting, the Beaver Creek Wildlife Area offers opportunities to hunt deer, raccoons, coyotes, waterfowl, and more. This area provides a great resource for hunters while preserving natural habitats.
A Place to Call Home
While Beavercreek may not be the same as it was during my childhood, it has grown into a vibrant, dynamic community that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re raising a family, building a career, or looking for a peaceful place to retire, Beavercreek has it all. For me, it will always be home.
