Community Profile


Trotwood has long been known for its civic pride and entrepreneurial spirit, governmental excellence and commercial success, small town charm with big city advantages.  Today, Trotwood’s leadership is working hard to elevate its urban-suburban amenities.  And offer up its hometown values to attract more businesses and residents.  By taking bold steps towards turning things around. 

Trotwood’s rich farmland, scenic railway bikeway and picturesque Olde Town district preserve its historic backbone.  This first outer ring suburb of Dayton opens up the largely undeveloped northwest Montgomery County region.  Its nearly 30,000 residents are spread comfortably over almost 30 square miles, enjoying affordable family living in a non-congested setting. 

The community’s solid median income yields substantial buying power to support its regional shopping hub and drive more upscale housing to take root.  The Trotwood-Madison City Schools $90 million investment is yielding a new high school, middle school, two elementary and a K-1 school.
