Phelps Avenue
The neighborhood has early-20th-century homes on postage stamp lots
In Phelps Avenue, oak, spruce and crabapple trees separate the wide roads from the sidewalks. Flower gardens and shrubbery decorate grassy front lawns, and wide driveways lead to detached garages on the back of postage stamp lots. The community consists of properties built between the late 1920s and 1950s. Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and ranch styles make up most of the properties, although some of the oldest are bungalows and Tudor-inspired homes. “I’m seeing a lot of the older homes being redone, maintaining the integrity of the old wood and old cabinets,” says resident Justin Aikens, Realtor with Keller Williams Chervenic Realty. “A lot of the homes are unique. You’ve got to blend the modern updates with the character of the older architecture.” Prices generally range from $130,000 to $290,000, depending on size.Cuyahoga Falls is building a new sixth through 12th-grade campus
