Kettering is a comfortable, well-kept Dayton suburb with a calm, residential vibe, reliable local services and short commutes—easy to unpack for multi-week contracts while still offering coffee shops, parks and low-stress evenings to recharge between shifts.
For bigger-nightlife, cultural or weekend options you’re minutes from Dayton (about 5 miles) and within a 45–50 mile drive of Cincinnati, so big-city museums, pro sports and a wide dining scene are easy day- or weekend-trips.
