Mortgage Broker in Dayton, KY
Walkable river town with historic bones and fresh Manhattan Harbour development, one of Northern Kentucky's most underrated buys.
Dayton is a compact Campbell County river city east of Bellevue with a split character: historic Sixth Avenue and Main Street lined with Victorians, shotguns, and brick cottages, plus the newer Manhattan Harbour waterfront development bringing townhomes and condos onto the Ohio River. Strong value for buyers priced out of Newport or Bellevue who still want walkability and Cincinnati skyline views.
