Neighborhood in Ohio
Geauga County 44024, 44060
Chardon is a place where life spreads out along green fields, and snow falls an average of 100 inches a year. Here, there’s a historic downtown, where rows of buildings with federal influences surround a central square, and, every Friday, the community gathers for a farmer’s market. Away from the neighborhood’s center, things spread out, and the landscape is dotted with oaks, pines and the occasional wooden picket fence.
Whether you live near downtown or away from it, home prices stay pretty consistent. Further from the town center, homes are spread amid a country landscape with expanses of green fields, above-ground power lines and long driveways leading to garages. Closer to downtown, homes are dotted along sidewalks and sit closer together. In the mid to upper $100,000 range, find a three-bedroom ranch-style property that might need some fixing up. In the $200,000 to $300,000 range, expect a Colonial Revival or Foursquare property with modern interiors. For $400,000 to $500,000, buyers can expect new construction with contemporary styles. There are also some luxury, remote properties away from the town center that reach into the millions.
Chardon Square is a pocket green space amid the neighborhood’s historic downtown. Surrounded by local stores and restaurants, this is a great place to spend a weekend afternoon window shopping. Strolling along brick sidewalks, visitors can step into Antiques on the Square, a three-floor antique emporium and find a piece of the past. For lunch, order chicken and waffles from Element 41 Kitchen & Bar, which serves comfort food. To grab groceries, head to Giant Eagle Supermarket on Center Street. Up and down this road are various commercial amenities from The Home Depot and Walmart to Starbucks and Pizza Hut, ensuring locals have access to everything they need.
Chardon Square is the gathering place for the community. On Fridays, there’s a farmers’ market with tons of local vendors. Every year, in late November or early December, locals gather to light the Christmas tree. With live music presented by Chardon High School and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus, the community comes together to ring in the holiday season. In late June, over 100 vendors sell antiques, produce, handmade items and more at the Chardon Flea Market.

Big Creek Park spans over 600 acres, with Big Creek cutting through the middle. There are almost 4 miles of trails for walking or hiking, along with 6 miles of mountain bike trails. The park also has a campground along with a nature-inspired playground for kids to run around on. Hit the links at St. Denis Golf Course & Party Center on Chardon Road, an 18-hole course with multiple tee lengths to accommodate players of varying skill levels and ages. This is also a popular spot to host weddings and other special events. For a long walk, check out Maple Highlands Trail, which loops through Chardon and links to the Geauga County Maple Highlands trail network.
Ohio State Route 6 cuts horizontally through the southern part of the neighborhood and connects to U.S. Interstate 90, which will lead locals 30 miles to Cleveland. Ohio State Route 44 cuts vertically through the center of the neighborhood and also connects to I-90, leading locals out of their small town to the rest of the state.
