Tight-knit suburban community outside of Cleveland

First founded as a village along the Cleveland-Pittsburgh rail line in 1849, Maple Heights has faced its share of economic challenges in an increasingly post-industrial world. However, Maple Heights’ growing population, increasing industry and reinvestment in the community has brightened the small town’s future. “It’s an affordable suburb, and it’s a tight-knit community,” says Harvey Lewis, Realtor at Century 21 Premiere Properties and former Maple Heights resident. Maple Heights has a dedicated city government: “Maple Heights’ Mayor, Annette Blackwell, is doing great things for the city. The city was in fiscal emergency, and she has turned that around to a surplus. She’s on her third term,” Lewis says. “The city council is also very involved. They allow residents to voice their opinions about what’s going on in the town.”

Modest homes on gridded residential streets

Homes sit close together on Maple Height’s gridded residential streets, and the occasional front-yard maple tree offers shade. Common home styles include compact Cape Cods, ranches and bi-level homes built in the 1950s or 60s, separated by little more than private driveways leading to detached parking garages behind each house. Most homes have simplistic exteriors with minimal ornamentation or landscaping, but many have recently renovated interiors. A three-bedroom ranch in Maple Heights costs around $125,000.
