  We used to live here when it was called first street and not stratford house but we loved it and would still recommend it! Plus you can walk to just about anything you want in Dayton.

  Nothing but great things to say about everyone at the Stratford House! So happy to be part of this small community of people. Marla and Mike treat us like family. Highly recommend. Thanks, Shelby.

  Nice 👍 place. Large complex. I worked at the hotel before this was converted to the condos . In the day this was the place to be. People from Kenny Anderson, Edwin C. Moses, Kareem Abdul Jabar, to Stephen Stills, B.B. King , and Michael Jackson all stayed here .

  We are urban folks and when it came time to move was decided to move downtown. Before deciding on First Place we did and exhaustive search of downtown accommodations that met our criteria: large floorplan with 3 bedrooms, indoor secure parking and reasonable rent (under 2K a month). We found all this and more at First Place. The staff is friendly and accommodating and have gone out of their way when we need them. Thus far the only negative I've found is that you can't open the windows. It would be nice on a warm Spring day to be able to open the windows and let in the fresh air. To be fair we knew about the sealed windows before we moved in. However there is a nice outside patio with in ground pool that we are able to use (the property started out as a luxurious hotel - which explains the pool). In summary we made a good choice in selecting First Place for this stage in our lives. Update: We were recently informed that when our lease expires in a few months a renewal will cost us an additional $300 a month! We're moving out. Downtown is disgusting and unsafe. We've lost count as to how many times we've been approached by beggers asking for a handout Not such a good decision after all.

  First Place is well-suited for families or anyone else seeking an alternative to suburban rental communities. The building features large floor plans (3 bedrooms), outdoor pool deck with multiple grills, large storage units and convenient parking within the building. We've taken advantage of the easy access to the bike trails (Bike Score is 88), Riverscape activities and the newly opened Metro Library. It is refreshing to be able to walk (Walk Score is 78) to get a pizza, catch a performance at the Schuster Center, or go to the downtown YMCA. The staff is great and keeps the building in incredible condition. An added perk- it is pet-friendly. Our kids really enjoy being so close to so much.
