A city with a history and great schools
Sandwiched between Akron, 15 miles south, and Cleveland, 30 miles north, the city of Hudson is a part of American history that draws attention with its successful schools and real estate opportunities. First settled by David Hudson in 1799, the city displays its history with plaques, monuments, and historical buildings all over the downtown, such as the old town hall, used as a safe house in the underground railroad. The city spreads out in all directions, separated into quarters by its two major thoroughfares intersecting downtown. The city's public schools are among its biggest appeals. "The schools are some of the highest rated in the county, and many people move in to save the money they would spend on private education," says Leslee Salhany, Realtor and owner of Simon & Salhany Realty. The city's spacious outskirts are another draw, providing room for new homes and existing properties with expansive land.
Downtown Hudson is a designated historic district by the Connecticut Wester Reserve.

Hudson Highschool excels in sports
Hudson's public schools are in the northeast quarter of town, with most schools a mile or so from one another. East Woods Intermediate School is the first school for many before moving on to Hudson Middle School across the track field. Hudson High School is a mile from the two other schools, near the border with Streetsboro. The school is known for supporting multiple successful sports teams, such as its boy's golf team, girl's track and field team and girl's swim team. These teams and many others claimed first place in their 2023 Ohio District competitions. Niche gives all three schools an A and considers them the best public schools in Summit County.

Historical homes and newer houses
Houses are separated into 3 categories: historical homes surrounding downtown, modern properties in the mid-range and recently built properties on the outskirts of town with lots of land. Homes priced between $200,000 and $400,000 sit in the section between the outskirts and downtown. These homes include ranch houses, Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods with 3 to 4 bedrooms and quarter-acre lots with around 20 feet between each house. Houses between $400,000 and $700,000 vary in location. Some of these houses are near downtown, Greek Revival and colonial houses built in the late 1800s, while others are in the midsection, somewhat close to the outskirts. Finally, houses priced between $700,000 and $1.5 million are mainly on the city's edge, showing a mixture of contemporary and early to mid-century styles. These homes are spacious, with four to five bedrooms and lots as big as 6 acres.

Hudson Springs Park has a lake and disc golf
Hudson has nearly 10 parks, with smaller pocket parks near downtown and larger multi-acre parks near the city's outskirts. First and Main Green is a pocket park just two blocks from the city hall and is primarily used for hosting events such as Summer Music Nights, where local bands of multiple genres play music for the public. Hudson Springs Park is popular for its size and multiple amenities. The park's Hudson Springs Lake gets fishers throwing lines from the shore and boaters paddling the surface in the summer. Nearby, hikers walk the 1.8-mile-long trail along the lakeshore and through the woods. A playground and disc golf course are also available.

Stores and restaurants downtown are within walking distance of each other
Hudson's stores and restaurants are on the west side of downtown, where each establishment is within a mile of each other. "A lot of the buildings there—the restaurants and stores—are from the 1800s or are made to look like it to fit in," says Jody Roberts, communications manager for Hudson. The Acme Fresh Market in the Hudson Plaza Shopping Center is the local go-to for groceries, but Heinen's Grocery Store on Clinton Street offers a smaller alternative a half-mile drive north. The Hudson Farmer's Market along North Main Street is another alternative for those wanting locally sourced goods. The market opens every Saturday morning from June to early October. Downtown's restaurants are packed together, each offering their own experience. Hudson's Restaurant offers a varied menu with everything from meatloaf to crab legs eaten in a rustic but refined environment with bare brick columns and polished dark wood beams complimented with bronze accents.

Thousands love to see Hudson's fireworks
According to Roberts, the city holds roughly 144 events annually. These can range from story times at the public library to city-wide festivals. Downtown's bandstand hosts concerts from May to August. Local performers include the Hudson High School Jazz Band, Dogwood Rockers and the Western Reserve Big Band. The Fourth of July Fireworks Display is one of Hudson's most significant events, with celebrations held at Barlow Farm Park, where vendors sell hotdogs as colorful explosions fill the sky from dusk to 7:00 p.m. "Thousands go to watch the fireworks," says Roberts, "Not just people from Hudson, but people from Twinsburg, Boston Heights—just people from all over."
An intersection in the center of town and three highways on the edges
Hudson is spread over several thousand acres and has access to three highways, making cars the primary way to get around. Streetsboro Street crosses with Main Street for the central intersection. Streetsboro Street also leads to Ohio Route 8 for a drive to Cleveland or Akron, as well as Interstate 480 and the Ohio Turnpike. Main Street mainly leads to neighboring cities, such as Twinsburg and Stow. Bus riders can access one bus route run by Akron METRO, route 32, through Main Street to take passengers towards Akron or north towards the Southgate Transit Center.
