Affordability and convenience in quiet Cleveland suburb
A quiet counterpart to Cleveland, Brunswick sits 27 miles southwest, beyond Cleveland's Outer Ring. This gives the small city a laid-back suburban feel while retaining convenient highway access to Cleveland, Akron and Hopkins International Airport. Originally a farming community, Brunswick earned its cityhood in 1960. The population boomed in the mid-20th century as people flocked to find affordable homes in the suburbs. Affordability is still a driving factor today. “Brunswick meets the needs of many different people,” says Jessica Chodaczek, Realtor with LoFaso Real Estate and a Brunswick local. “It’s 30 minutes from Cleveland and Akron, the housing stock is diverse, and the tax base is lower than neighboring Cuyahoga County.”
Some folks in Brunswick still prefer the old way of doing things.
Brunswick welcomes all to its community.

Midcentury homes and new subdivisions
Brunswick's median single-family home price is $315,000, which is high for the Cleveland area but lower than the national median of $429,000. The population more than doubled in the 1950s and '60s, and midcentury architecture is common throughout the city. Ranch-style and split-level properties dot the area’s sidewalk-lined streets. Development is booming on the outskirts of town. Subdivisions like Ridgeline Chase and Meadows View have modern farmhouses and New Traditional dwellings with rambling exteriors on quarter-acre lots or larger. These can cost between $400,000 and $575,000. “The new houses are why Brunswick keeps growing,” Chodaczek says. “They offer more breathing room compared to the average Cleveland-area home.”
Ranch-style homes give Brunswick its warmth and charm.
Newer homes are springing up all around Brunswick.
