Older homes like Cape Cods are on small lots
Sidewalks line the streets of Valley View, interrupted by driveways leading to detached garages. Oak and spruce trees grow around grassy, postage stamp lots with homes built between the 1940s and 1960s. “A lot of the Capes on the west side are pretty similar,” says Justin Aikens, Realtor with Keller Williams Chervenic Realty. Most of the neighborhood is made of Cape Cods and bungalows, although some are split-levels and ranch-style houses. Prices start at $175,000 and can climb up to $315,000.

Residents only need to travel about 2 miles to reach Downtown Cuyahoga Falls.

City parks and Cuyahoga Valley National Park are within a few miles
Renovations are underway at the nearby Valley Vista Park, including installing a new playground and splash pad and moving the basketball court by the end of 2025. While waiting for that park to open, residents can travel to one of the many other parks across the city. “I take my kids to Water Works, where they can play in the river,” Aikens says. Besides having a lazy river, this outdoor water park also features water slides, a splash pad and a lap pool. Keyser Park features baseball fields used by the Cuyahoga Falls Stow Little League North, soccer fields and a dog park. Also in the area is the Natatorium, an indoor gym downtown that hosts over 60 land and water fitness classes every week, and a seasonal ice-skating rink. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is about 5 miles away, with over 125 miles of trails for mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking. Several access points onto the Cuyahoga River throughout the park give anglers and kayakers easy access to the water.
