Doylestown is a town amid farmland

Founded in 1827, the village of Doylestown occupies a small piece of Wayne County countryside. “There are lumber companies and Christmas tree farms. It’s very rural with a small-town feel,” says Realtor Shannon Bauer with eXp Realty, who has sold in the county since 2017. “But it’s an easy town to commute in and out of.” With a downtown area full of businesses, restaurants and parks, residents can enjoy the many urban amenities. Additionally, with two state routes nearby, bigger cities, like Wadsworth and Akron, are within reach, just 5 and 15 miles away.

The area around Doylestown is characterized by its rich, fertile farmlands.

Generational ties and traditional homes shape the community

Single-family homes dominate the market in Doylestown, and properties often get passed down for generations. “There’s a deep history of families who have lived here forever,” Bauer says. Buyers will find a mix of New Traditional, Colonial Revival and ranch-style architecture. The median price is $275,000, well below the national figure. More affordable manufactured homes have sold for $15,000 to $95,000, while New Traditional houses on multiple acres may reach $750,000. Roads and cul-de-sacs form suburban neighborhoods near the village's center. Cars often park in driveways or garages, keeping the streets open for residents to walk and children to play. Properties on the outskirts offer more seclusion and enough space for expansive lawns, farms and barns.

Education through Chippewa Local Schools

Prekindergarten through second grade students may attend Hazen Harvey Elementary, which scores an A-minus on Niche. Chippewa Intermediate School for third through sixth grade earns a B-plus. B-rated Chippewa Jr./Sr. High serves seventh through 12th graders and has 20 varsity athletic teams. The community often comes together to watch football games and show school spirit, as Bauer says, “The school district is very coveted here.” Sts. Peter and Paul School for preschool through eighth grade, which Niche has not rated, has provided Catholic education since 1862.

Supporting local restaurants and shopping in nearby cities

The Doughboy World War I statue marks the start of the downtown area on Portage Street, where American flags decorate the lampposts and benches engraved with the village’s name and founding year sit outside storefronts. The stretch has a small selection of restaurants, including the Doylestown Coffee House and Uptown Grill for drinks and pub fare. For dessert, Doc’s Sweet Shop serves sundaes and milkshakes. Cranston’s Pub offers pizza and European beers on tap outside town, and Bent Ladder creates handcrafted hard ciders and wines. Shoppers pick up groceries 5 miles away at Rittman IGA, and big-box options, like Buehler’s Fresh Foods, Walmart and Target are 10 miles away in Wadsworth.

Seasonal and annual gatherings add a sense of community

The village comes together for a few different events throughout the year. Local organizations sponsor a summer concert series with food trucks on Friday nights, and Memorial Park hosts a farmers market on Saturdays between June and September. One of the biggest annual celebrations is the Rogues’ Hollow Festival, named after a coal mining site south of town known for its large population of outlaws in the 19th century. The August festival features a parade, fireworks and countless other activities for kids.
