About us

Housing Near UD, Done Right

Waker Properties has been providing quality off-campus housing to University of Dayton students for years. We keep it simple: well-maintained houses, fair prices, and a landlord who actually picks up the phone.

Our story

Built for UD Students

Waker Properties was founded with one goal — give University of Dayton students a better off-campus experience. No corporate management, no runaround. Just solid houses in the neighborhoods students actually want to live in.

Ron Waker handles everything personally — from showing properties to fixing what breaks. When you rent from Waker Properties, you're dealing directly with the owner, not a property management company.

We focus on a small number of properties so every tenant gets real attention. If something needs fixing, we fix it. If you have a question, you get an answer.
