Another solid sale in Harrison Township is in the books, and it’s a good snapshot of what’s happening in this corner of the Dayton market right now—steady demand, realistic pricing, and well-cared-for homes changing hands to new owners who want to put down roots.
Another Solid Sale in Harrison Township: 652 Syracuse Avenue
The recently closed sale at 652 Syracuse Avenue brings a nicely updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home into the “sold” column at a final price of $125,000. While it isn’t a record-breaking number for the area, it’s a healthy, solid comp for Harrison Township’s Riverdale neighborhood and a good indicator of stable values for nearby homeowners and investors.
Built in 1921, this home blends classic Dayton architecture with modern updates that make day-to-day living easy. With approximately 1,088 square feet of living space, the layout is efficient and welcoming rather than oversized or overwhelming—exactly what many buyers are looking for in today’s market.
The main level features a comfortable living room that flows into the dining area, creating a natural gathering space for everyday routines or small get-togethers. Fresh finishes, updated flooring, and a clean, neutral color palette help the space feel bright without losing its original character.
The kitchen continues the theme with contemporary cabinetry, updated countertops, and a functional layout that makes good use of the square footage. It’s the kind of space where a new owner can move in on day one and start cooking without needing immediate renovations—always a plus for first-time buyers or anyone working within a tight budget.
Below, a full unfinished basement offers extra storage and potential for future projects, whether that’s a workshop, hobby room, or additional living space down the road. Outside, a 2-car detached garage, manageable yard, and convenient location close to downtown Dayton, schools, and major routes round out the property’s appeal.
Steady, Realistic Numbers for Riverdale
Sales like this one at 652 Syracuse don’t necessarily drive prices straight up, but they do something just as important: they confirm that well-maintained, move-in-ready homes in Harrison Township’s Riverdale neighborhood continue to attract solid offers. For existing owners, that reinforces confidence. For buyers, it signals that they can still find quality homes at approachable price points.
