A clearer next step for your Kettering home.
Kettering's homes range from 1920s cottages in Oak Park and 1940s wartime housing in Greenmont Village to the brick ranches built during the city's postwar growth. Whatever you own, Doorbloom helps you explore your options with real estate professionals on your own timeline.
Kettering was farmland for much of its history and became a city in 1955, named after inventor Charles F. Kettering. A few areas are older. Oak Park, a large 1920s plat, has dormered and storybook-style cottages. Greenmont Village was finished in 1942 to house defense workers and is still a mutually owned community of plain, mostly flat-roofed homes. West of Far Hills Avenue, wooded streets such as the Ridgeway area hold larger Tudor and Spanish-style houses.
The city grew quickly in the decades after World War II, and much of its housing dates from that era. Brick ranches from the 1950s and 1960s are common, along with two-story homes in subdivisions such as Fairmont Acres. Condos and townhomes add more options. Whatever its age, describing your home honestly, including roof age, basement condition, foundation, updates and any known issues, helps the right professionals respond.

How can I check property taxes or recorded liens on a Kettering home?
Property tax balances are handled by the Montgomery County Treasurer, and recorded documents like deeds and liens by the Montgomery County Recorder. Links to both are in the official resources section on this page.
My home is in Greenmont Village. Is selling different there?
Greenmont Village is a mutually owned community, so the way homes there are owned and transferred can differ from a typical house. It helps to mention this up front when you describe your home. The community's housing corporation or a real estate attorney can explain what applies to your unit.
