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.
Doylestown boasts a rich history, with early settlers establishing the area as far back as the 1800s.

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.
In Doylestown, a development features streets lined with Modern Colonial Revival homes, lending the neighborhood a timeless charm.
