Comfortable suburban and country living

I have lived in Beavercreek for several years, and the first thing that comes to mind is the fairly new developments and neighborhoods. Beavercreek is mostly a quiet and family-style living area with smooth roads, well-maintained parks, and a huge soccer complex that is quite popular with many families. The parents are more involved in their children's education, but the school is only above-average or somewhat decent. The schools keep asking for millions on levies every year, but the system doesn't seem efficient and organized. If your children take honors/AP classes, they will definitely reap the benefits because they will be the most college-prepared if they perform well. The extracurricular activities and sports are well-supported and organized. If you have children who attend the public schools, just know that everything will not run smoothly in the departments due to an obvious lack of organization and rampant favoritism. Also, people in general tend to be friendly and approachable although somewhat conservative. People can be either SUPER friendly or extremely closed-off and downright suspicious. There's really no middle ground, and I've lived here for almost twenty years. Overall, I have enjoyed living in Beavercreek since it's very comfortable and surrounded by (mostly) cheerful people despite certain things, such as the unflattering bumps in the education system and the taxes/high-cost of living. Live here if you can. Comfortable and decent area for families.
