Due to the growth of the city in the 19th century, many of the older houses in the city are [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]]-style homes. They are concentrated in the neighborhood of "Old Miamisburg" (downtown and riverfront areas). Other architectural styles include Queen Anne, [[Italianate]], and [[Second Empire (architecture)|Second Empire]]-styled buildings. Much of [[Miami Township, Montgomery County, Ohio|Miami Township]] has residential housing of single-family homes, which were built during the expanded suburban development typical of the late 20th century, especially the 1970s through the 1990s. Newer houses have been built in the 21st century as some residents have sought higher-priced luxury homes, evidenced in new developments such as Pipestone, Crains Run, Heincke Woods, and Bear Creek.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
