Talk to a Specialist →Ballymeade Village is a standalone Epcon community within the City of Beavercreek — distinct from Stonehill Village (which is in Beavercreek Township, an unincorporated area). City of Beavercreek vs. Beavercreek Township is a meaningful tax distinction: city residents may be subject to Beavercreek's city income tax on earned income, while township residents are not. Retirees living on Social Security and pension income are largely unaffected by city income tax (Ohio exempts SS entirely), but this is worth confirming if you have any earned income streams.
Beavercreek is the primary bedroom community for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base personnel. This creates a durable base of demand that stabilizes property values and produces a community full of current and former military families — a social environment that many WPAFB retirees find particularly appealing. The proximity also means Ballymeade Village residents are close to Wright-Patt's commissary (open to retirees), base exchange, and medical facilities.
Beavercreek sits in one of Ohio's densest suburban healthcare clusters:

Public records on Ballymeade Village Drive show average property tax bills of approximately $5,200/yr. Working backwards: that implies assessed values around $137,000–$145,000, and purchase/market values in the range of $390,000–$415,000. Here's how that compares to other new construction nearby:
| Community | Approx. Price Range | County Rate | Annual Tax on $400K | 10-Year Tax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ballymeade Village | $380K–$420K | ~1.35% (Greene/Beavercreek city) | ~$5,400 | ~$54,000 |
| Stonehill Village | $400K–$500K | ~1.35% (Greene/Township) | ~$5,400 | ~$54,000 |
| Bel Haven | $500K+ | ~1.00% (Butler) | ~$4,000 | ~$40,000 |
Over 10 years, choosing Bel Haven over Ballymeade Village saves approximately $14,000 in property taxes — but buyers pay $80,000–$120,000 more upfront. The math only favors Butler County if you plan to stay long enough for the annual tax savings to overcome the higher purchase price.
