More About Troy
Living in Troy, Ohio, offers a high-quality, balanced lifestyle characterized by historic charm and significant academic momentum. The city is home to the Troy City School District, which recently earned a standout 4.5-star rating from the state, with Troy High School ranking in the top 1% for student growth—the second-highest progress score in all of Ohio. Residents enjoy a vibrant, walkable downtown centered around the iconic Public Square, which is currently undergoing an $11 million “Safety and Streetscape” transformation to enhance its pedestrian appeal with wider sidewalks and a redesigned Prouty Plaza. While the community is famous for its massive annual Strawberry Festival, day-to-day life is anchored by a competitive yet relatively affordable housing market. Despite ongoing construction for several major infrastructure projects, including a new roundabout at Adams and Riverside, Troy remains a premier destination for those seeking a “solid” Midwestern town with elite-level schools and a 25-minute commute to Dayton.
