Eastern suburb of Cleveland full of amenities

Highland Heights' competitive housing market draws families because of the highly rated school district. Convenient access to major highways, public transit, and nearby colleges further enhance the city's allure. Natural amenities, including parks, nature trails with adjacent ponds and marshes, and many golf courses, add to the charm of the Cuyahoga County suburb east of Cleveland.

Homes in Highland Heights hold their value over time

Highland Heights has multiple housing styles throughout the city, including Ranch homes, bungalows, Colonials, and modern condominiums. The inventory in the city mirrors the Cuyahoga County market, which is low. "It's definitely a seller's market," says Realtor Nicole Joeright, who works for Platinum Real Estate. "There are a lot of higher-end homes; the taxes are higher on these properties, and they are valued pretty well, and they hold their value," Joeright says. Starter homes and modest fixer-uppers can start at $125,000, while upscale Colonial homes and expansive Cape Cods reach upwards of $810,000. Newer construction houses cost $950,000 and come with a patio and porch, surrounded by trees. Stonewater Golf Course surrounds homes in the golf community. The median home price in the city is $430,000.

Highland Heights has a low crime rate, with a CAP score of two. The city also has a Vacation House Watch program, where the police department looks after residents' homes while they are away.

Mayfield High School students can enroll in the Excell TECC program

"I would say there are more families who live in Highland Heights because of the school district," Joeright says. Children can attend Millridge Elementary School, which received an A rating from Niche. Mayfield Middle School and Mayfield High School also have A ratings. Students at Mayfield High School can enroll in the Excel TECC program that provides hands-on experiences in various career fields, such as nursing, computer science, and graphic design. Operated by Saint Paschal Baylon Catholic Church, students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade can attend St. Paschal Baylon School, a private school in Highland Heights.
Highland Heights is conveniently located near several colleges and universities, including Ursuline College, John Carroll University, and Notre Dame College.

Take Interstate 271 to downtown Cleveland

Locals in Highland Heights benefit from convenient access to major highways, public transit, nearby cities, and airports. Interstate 271 links the neighborhood to downtown Cleveland, 17 miles away. Interstate 90 and Route 2 facilitate travel to neighboring communities and Lake Erie. Residents can use the Cleveland RTA bus system to get around the Greater Cleveland area. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is 30 miles away for those traveling for leisure or business.

Go for a hike at North Chagrin Reservation

Highland Heights Community Park features playgrounds, picnic areas, walking trails, baseball fields, and tennis courts. Just a mile outside the city is North Chagrin Reservation, where locals can walk the trails while basking in the sights of the Sanctuary Marsh or Sunset Pond.

Golf enthusiasts can join the StoneWater Golf Club, which also has tennis courts, pickleball, and a swimming pool.

Highland Heights' Parks and Recreation department is committed to promoting youth activities through organized sports leagues, such as baseball, softball, tennis, pickleball, and Summer Day Camps.

Pick up the necessities at The Shoppes at Alpha Place

The Shoppes at Alpha Place is a prime retail destination featuring a mix of national, local, and regional businesses like Discount Drug Mart, Key Bank, Panera Bread, and Verizon Wireless. Beachwood Place, a shopping mall with Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M, is about 4.5 miles away in Beachwood, Ohio.

Burgers2Beer offers 16 different Angus beef burgers, wings, and more than 20 beers on tap. For more than 20 years, La Fiesta has served the community authentic Mexican food from burritos, street tacos, and chimichangas to margaritas and tequila. Locals unwind at local cafes like Birch Cafe, which has an all-vegan menu that includes toast, wraps, bagels, sandwiches, and coffee.

For groceries, Henin's provides everyday necessities.

Show pride for the city during Highland Heights Community Day
