Cascading waterfalls, award winning schools and opulent homes
Bentleyville is a small, affluent town in Northeast Ohio known for its highly-rated schools, luxurious homes and cascading waterfalls. “Many people live here because it has really nice houses, they’re still in the school district, and they can easily commute to work,” says Karen Eagle with Karen Eagle Group, an award-winning realty group in Chagrin Valley. “It's just a pleasant place to live, it's an easy place to live.”

From ranches to mini mansions
Bentleyville offers a range of housing options, from contemporary ranches to much larger, Colonial-style homes situated on a few acres. Home prices range from $250,000 for a 2-bedroom ranch on 2 acres and reach upwards of $1.8 million for a 5-bed mansion on 6 acres. The median lot size for homes is 1.5 acres, creating a quiet, private way of living. Homes sit pushed away from the winding roads behind established trees, and cul-de-sacs are standard. With a median home price of $910,000, most homes are closer to the million-dollar mark.
And as Eagle points out, "It's one of the few places around Chagrin Falls where you can buy a newer home. Not new as in there are a lot of new developments in the area, but newer than Chagrin Falls.” The median year built for homes in Bentleyville is 1989, as opposed to 1958 in Chagrin Falls. Inventory is low in this highly sought-after community, and homes only spend about 27 days on the market compared to the national average of 42 days.

Four highly rated schools
In 1929, Bentleyville parted ways with Chagrin Falls and became a town of its own. But students are still zoned for schools within the Chagrin Falls Exempted Village School District, which holds an A-plus rating on Niche and excels in academics, college prep, teachers and administration. Kids attend Gurney Elementary School, which has an A rating on Niche, from Pre-K through 3rd grade. They then go to Chagrin Falls Intermediate Elementary, which serves 4th- 6th graders and also holds an A. Chagrin Falls Middle, which has an A rating, is the next step for pre-teens. Older teens attend Chagrin Falls High, which also has an A rating and is home to over 28 advanced placement courses. The Intermediate School, Middle School and High School are all Blue Ribbon Certified.

Golf lovers join the Chagrin Valley Country Club, which is home to a 26-hole course designed by architect Stanley Thompson. Members can connect with the community through the couples, junior, ladies and senior golf leagues. While golf is a large part of the culture of the country club, there are tennis leagues as well. There is also a six-lane competitive pool.
South Chagrin Reservation on Chagrin Road is a short drive away for residents. A large canopy of trees provides shade to the walking trails that wind around the several cascading waterfalls, including the Double Decker, Zen and Squaw Falls. Hiking through the greenery to reach the Henry Church Jr. Rock, which dates back to 1885, allows residents to break a sweat while taking in the scenery.
On the weekends, residents head to the Chagrin Valley Roller Rink on South Main Street, a community staple for 75 years.
Eagle says that outdoor activities vary depending on the season. “In the summer, residents go to one of the metro parks or into Downtown Chagrin Falls for ice cream and to visit the playgrounds. It’s pretty busy during the summer. In the winter, if the students have a snow day, they’ll go sled riding down hills at the parks,” she says.
