Yankee Trace is one of Centerville, Ohio’s most sought-after neighborhoods, built around the acclaimed Golf Club at Yankee Trace — a 27-hole course designed by Gene Bates that’s been ranked among the top 5 public courses in Ohio and named Dayton’s best golf course for 20 consecutive years by the Dayton Daily News. Homes here range from golf-course ranches and custom builds overlooking the fairways to newer attached townhomes in communities like The Terraces and Woodland Greens.
What Makes Yankee Trace Stand Out
With roughly 1,850 residents, Yankee Trace strikes a balance between an established, tree-lined feel and ongoing new construction in pockets like Woodland Greens. Buyers are drawn to the mix of architectural styles, mature landscaping, and direct access to the golf club’s fairways, clubhouse, and dining. The neighborhood consistently ranks as one of the most walkable and well-maintained areas in the Centerville/Washington Township market.
Home Styles and Price Range
Yankee Trace offers everything from spacious single-family homes to low-maintenance townhomes and villas. As of recent market data, homes in the golf club area have listed at a median price around $430,000, with custom homes overlooking the course commanding a premium and newer attached homes offering a lower-maintenance entry point into the neighborhood.

- Direct proximity to a nationally ranked public golf course and clubhouse
- A genuine mix of home styles and price points within one community
- Access to Centerville City Schools, one of the top-rated districts in the Dayton area
- Walkable streets, mature trees, and an active neighborhood social scene
