Greene County
What is in Beavercreek
Beaver Creek wetlands corridor
Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek run through the city, and the Beaver Creek Wetlands Association has been piecing together a protected corridor along them since 1988. Rotary Park on Dayton-Xenia Road is the trailhead for the Spotted Turtle Trail and a restored prairie. Phillips Park and the Beaver Creek Wetland Nature Reserve give a loop that links back to Rotary Park, and Creekside Reserve on Factory Road has gravel trail and a bikeway.
Creekside Trail
The paved regional trail runs from Eastwood MetroPark in Dayton to Xenia Station, and the stretch through Beavercreek is a paved trail. Greene County Parks and Trails manages it, along with the county's parkland.
Narrows Reserve
Indian Ripple Road at Factory Road, in Beavercreek Township just south of US 35. A county reserve along the Little Miami River, a National and State Scenic River, with a nature center, river access and hiking trails. It carries a Beavercreek address and sits outside the city line, so its tax district differs from the city's.
The city parks and the golf course
The city parks department runs the parks, and Rotary, Wartinger, Shoup and Dominick Lofino are among them. Wartinger Park was kept as green space when the land around it was developed in 1975, and the Beavercreek Historical Society keeps relocated 19th-century log and frame buildings there. Beavercreek Golf Club at 2800 New Germany-Trebein Road is a public 18-hole course.
The Greene and The Mall at Fairfield Commons
Two large retail centers are at Beavercreek's I-675 exits. The Greene Town Center, 51 Plum Street at Indian Ripple Road, is the open-air one: Phase I finished in 2006, with shops, restaurants, entertainment, offices and apartments above and beside the storefronts. The Mall at Fairfield Commons, 2727 Fairfield Commons Boulevard at North Fairfield Road, is the enclosed one: opened in October 1993, two floors of stores and services. Together with the Dayton-Xenia Road corridor they make up Beavercreek's shopping and dining, and the oldest crossroads is Alpha, at Dayton-Xenia Road and Alpha Road, site of the Alpha Mill.
Beavercreek Popcorn Festival
The weekend after Labor Day, on Dayton-Xenia Road between Fairfield Road and Meadow Bridge Drive in front of Beavercreek Plaza. Rows of booths, a Saturday 5K, a Sunday classic car show, two stages and a beer garden. The city's calendar also includes a summer concert series at Dominick Lofino Park and a Christmas tree lighting.

Homes in Beavercreek
Beavercreek's homes are sorted by decade more than by neighborhood, running roughly west to east.
Closest to Kettering, off Dayton-Xenia Road and Grange Hall Road and in the Knollwood area annexed in 1980, the stock is 1950s and 1960s brick ranches and split-levels. Pierce Drive and North Longview Street are typical of it.
The 1980s to 2000s subdivisions come next: the Kemp Road and Shakertown Road corridors, and on the east side off Indian Ripple and Factory Roads, Country Club of the North and The Conservancy, which are the golf-course and larger-lot custom streets.
Then the new construction, and there is a lot of it. Stonehill Village is a master-planned community of custom homes, with several sections finished or under way. New construction spans many communities across the Beavercreek area, which includes the township and neighboring cities. Named communities include Cottages of Beavercreek, Amberwood, Sky Crossing, Bent Creek Woods, Nathanials Grove Estates and Spring Meadows (Spring Meadows is in the township), and River Reserve under construction in the township.
Attached housing is thinner. The Greene's apartments are rental lofts, and the townhomes that do come up are on streets like East Summit Ridge Drive. Beavercreek Township, outside the city, still has acreage along Factory Road, Trebein Road and the Little Miami corridor and is its own market.
ZIP codes 45430, 45431, 45432 and 45434 all carry Beavercreek addresses, but 45431 and 45432 take in parts of Riverside and Kettering, and 45430 and 45434 include township parcels. A search labeled "Beavercreek" might mean the city, a ZIP or an area, and the tax bill differs by which. Current listings.
