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.

Ohio Pie Co. has the original Ohio-style pizza
The Brunswick shopping and dining scene has the basics, but locals venture out of town for fine dining options. Fast food restaurants and locally owned eateries sprinkle Center Road and Pearl Road, the city’s two main thoroughfares. Ohio Pie Co. opened here in 2019 and has since expanded to a second location in Rocky River. It's known for creating Ohio-style pizza with cheese and toppings running to the edge. Giant Eagle, Aldi, Meijer, Marc's, European Specialty Food Mart and Home Depot are also in town.

Summer concerts on the lawn
Community spirit is strong, according to Chodaczek. "There are so many events where you can get to know your neighbors." Saint Ambrose Catholic Parish hosts a four-day Summer Festival, with cover bands paying tribute to pop and rock groups from across the decades. Brunswick Recreation Center hosts a summer concert series from June to August and a Christmas party for kids with a visit from Santa, carnival games and food. The city celebrates the Fourth of July with a parade, and The Brunswick Library hosts family storytime sessions, teen activities and adult book clubs.

Interstates and public transportation into Cleveland
State Route 303 is a main road through town and the only route to the on-ramp for Interstate 71, so it often experiences heavy traffic. I-71 is the primary route to Cleveland, 27 miles northeast. Medina County has no fixed bus routes, but the MC Flex service provides on-demand door-to-door service. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority operates busses on the 251 route from Brunswick to Cleveland. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is 13 miles north, with direct flights across the country and to five international destinations. Brunswick Medical Center is centrally located in town with a 24-hour emergency room.
