What is in Englewood
Englewood MetroPark
Four sections of Five Rivers MetroParks land along the Stillwater. West Park is inside the city on East National Road, and East Park, North Park and South Park carry Vandalia and Dayton addresses. The East Park green trail passes all three waterfalls, Martindale Falls, Patty Falls and Oaks Falls, through pumpkin ash and swamp forest. Paved riding is the Stillwater River Trail and the Grossnickle Bikeway, plus a marked bike lane on Patty Road. There is also bridle trail, a disc golf course in East Park, frontcountry campsites, reservable shelters and a boat ramp on the lake.
Englewood Dam
The Miami Conservancy District built it between February 1918 and December 1921, one of the five dry dams that went up after the 1913 flood. US 40 rides across the top of it at the east end of town, and the lake it backs up is the one in the MetroPark. A low-water dam downstream was removed in 2009 to improve river habitat. The historical marker on US 40 records that the 19th-century settlement shipped grain and cured meat down this river to Dayton by flatboat.
Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm
Across the valley from the park's south sections, with Dayton 45414 addresses in Butler Township. Marie S. Aull gave her land to the National Audubon Society in 1957, its first nature center in the Midwest; the farm on Frederick Pike was bought in 1962 and merged with the center in 1978. Today it is a sanctuary with trails and a working educational farm.
Centennial Park and the city parks
Centennial Park on Union Road, by the north water tower, is the largest of the city's parks, with fields, shelters and a splash pad the city rebuilt to replace a mid-1990s one. It's where the July 4 fireworks go off and where the Englewood Festival sets up. Jake Grossnickle Memorial Park and Belleview Park are the other named ones.
Main Street and National Road
Shopping gathers along Main Street, with grocery stores as the anchors, and along the National Road corridor, where the Government Center is at 333 West National Road. A downtown master plan is in progress. Independent spots include Company 7 BBQ, Yen Ching House, Bella Sorella Pizza and Cafe 19.
Englewood Festival and the calendar
The Englewood Festival, also billed as the Art Festival, takes the second weekend of August at Centennial Park: artisans, entertainers, a parade, food and a Sunday car show. The festival has its own 5K Classic. The rest of the city calendar: Independence Day at Centennial Park with fireworks; neighborhood garage sales the first weekend of June in the Section 5 streets between Overla Boulevard and US 40; a Youth Art Fair at the Government Center in February or March; the Holiday Celebration on November 28, 2026 at the Government Center; Beggar's Night on October 31.

Homes in Englewood
Englewood grew in one long building run. Settlers platted the town as Harrisburg in May 1841, it was renamed Englewood in 1898, became a village in 1914 and a city in 1971, and the bulk of the houses went up between the 1940s and the 1990s on the flat ground west of the river. Ranches, split-levels, Cape Cods, minimal traditional and colonial two-stories make up the stock, and a 1976 three-bedroom on a street like Rankin Drive is a typical Englewood house.
The city's own Section 5 sits between Overla Boulevard and US 40, and the listing for any one house shows the decade it was built.
Attached housing is a short list. Kristina Lynn Place is one street of it, built in 2004.
New construction has been scarce inside the city for years, which is why Terrace Farm stands out in 2026. A developer proposed a subdivision at West National Road, west of Old Carriage Drive, in early 2026; the planning board approved a revised plan in April and council approved the rezoning in June. The plan calls for open space and for Heather Drive and Sorna Drive to be extended.
ZIP 45322 is Englewood, but part of the city shares 45315 with the next city south, and searches on 45322 can pull in Butler Township parcels east of the river. There is little acreage left inside the city line; the farm frontage is in Randolph Township to the west and north, under other mailing addresses. All current listings.
