Garrettsville has a quaint downtown, diverse events, tight community
Water flows off a scenic 13-foot waterfall in the center of Garrettsville, a small village about 40 miles from Cleveland. “There is a great community feel,” says resident and Realtor Kelly Zander with Vincent Patrick Realty. “Everybody is there for each other, and there’s lots of fun stuff to do.” Residents can explore the boutiques in the historic downtown area, catch a movie at the locally owned Garrettsville Cinema for $6 or less and attend one of the village’s many events. The chamber is expanding what people can do with the revival of Buckeye Block to include an outdoor amphitheater, a project primarily funded by grants and donations. Construction begins in the summer of 2025.
From the boardwalk in downtown Garrettsville, residents can enjoy scenic views of the falls.

Century Homes and New Traditional houses are common
Towering trees shade the heart of Garrettsville, where houses are close together on lots that are often less than a quarter of an acre. The trees thin out as the roads get farther from downtown. “Our outskirts are more rural, and people have bigger land,” Zander says. These larger lots range from half an acre to over 2 acres. The village center features what Zander calls “Century Homes,” properties that date back to the 19th century. These include Queen Annes, Gothic architecture and some Craftsman and Italianate homes. The rest of the area has ranch-style and New Traditional houses and Cape Cods built as recently as the 2020s. Depending on size and condition, prices generally range from $160,000 to $516,000.

Bill Phelps Park is next to the Portage County District Library and has basketball, baseball and softball fields. There is also a dog park and playground.

The high school’s track and field team has won 11 individual State Championship titles since 1993. “There’s a really big sports presence,” Zander says. “Everyone is really into it.” This goes beyond school sports, with many residents involved in activities like the Little League.

Garrettsville Summerfest is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. Live music plays all weekend, and attendees can explore vendors and competitions like the cornhole tournament and the hot wing eating contest. The weekend ends with a raffle and Garrettsville’s Got Talent, which any resident can sign up for. “People sing, they dance. Somebody did a comedy skit for it one time,” Zander says. Other events include car cruises, which happen every month during the summer, and the annual Garage Sale Weekend every May, which draws in hundreds of participants. “All the stuff that you don’t sell, you can take it to the YMCA, where they have a rummage sale,” Zander says.
