Leo was on a mission. He had just landed a job with a major architectural firm in Dayton, Ohio and was scheduled to begin working there in one month. He had to pack up his bags, make all the arrangements, say goodbye to family and friends, oh and find a place to live in Dayton. As instantly as he was excited about the job and his new life transition, he became equally as nervous to get everything taken care of. The day he returned home to his Kansas apartment he made reservations for the following weekend in one of the hotels Dayton to look for a new home.
He was pretty sure that he wanted to buy a home in Dayton as planned to live there and stay with the firm for at least five years. That seemed to him like too long of a time to rent places, but it was the minimum amount of time he figured he needed to commit to the company and a house purchase. So, the following weekend he brought his brother Troy with him to tour the neighborhoods and possibly even put down an offer on a house.
He had heard interesting things about the suburb of Huber Heights and decided to give it a drive through. He was surprised to find out that it covered three counties though he absolutely loved the brick homes. While he was impressed with the houses and the community he didn’t find anything that immediately grabbed him or said home, so he moved on to the suburb of Englewood. This had a quieter, or more rural feel to it and was also smaller than Huber Heights. Leo felt comfortable among the family residences but once again he didn’t feel like he had found his home. Troy suggested they return to Huber Heights because he wanted get another look at one of the houses and felt Leo should see it too. One their way they passed through Riverside and Troy got a great feeling about that town. He insisted they pass through some of the residential areas and he fell in love with one of the houses. Leo took the opportunity to try and talk his brother into moving as well.
