Situated six miles south of downtown, Cuyahoga Heights describes itself as a small town conveniently located within the greater Cleveland area. “Many residents work downtown, and the neighborhood’s location is ideal for commuters. There are events in the art district close by, and a hospital and good schools in the area,” says Tatyana Krilova, a Realtor with The Krilova Group and Howard Hanna Real Estate who has served the northeast Ohio area for 25 years. The neighborhood offers free services like grass-cutting and snow plowing to its senior citizens, and seasonal community events, along with access to outdoor recreational activities. Cuyahoga Heights houses several industrial plants, including Charter Steel, Universal Steel, Worthington Industries and the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. However, homes are gathered within two residential communities, which are insulated by groves of trees and within walking distance of local parks.
University Circle, an arts, health, and education hub, is a short drive from Cuyahoga Heights.
Ranches on residential streets near Bacci Park
“There is an industrial part to the neighborhood, but homes are on residential streets with parks and trees nearby. The industrial section keeps prices lower than surrounding areas, too,” Krilova says. Cuyahoga Heights homes are either along East 49th Street, which is in the western portion of the neighborhood, or around East 71st Street, which is to the east. Properties sit close together on sidewalk-lined residential streets dotted with trees, and most lawns feature small grass lawns and landscaped foundation beds. Homes were built throughout the first half of the 20th century, including Colonial Revivals built in the 1920s and 30s, Cape Cod cottages built in the 1940s and ranches from the 1950s and 60s. Ranches are usually priced between $200,000 and $250,000, while Colonial Revivals cost between $125,000 and $300,000, depending on modern finishings.
