About Dayton

Just east of Lafayette and right off I-65, Dayton offers a quiet, small-town setting with an easy commute to work or Purdue University. The town center features a charming historic district with older homes and shady streets that feel tucked away from the bustle of the city. Families are drawn to having Dayton Elementary right in town, and neighbors regularly gather at the local park and community events. It is a great spot if you want a calm, friendly neighborhood while staying close to Lafayette's shops, dining, and healthcare.
