Holding court in North Royalton

Located almost halfway between Akron and Cleveland is the small suburban city of North Royalton. Intersected by Interstate 80 and very close to Interstate 77, North Royalton is a city that has easy commute routes. This is important because, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city’s population of just under 31,000 has nearly a half-hour mean travel time to work. This makes North Royalton a suburban retreat for those who don’t mind commuting into the big city for work but want to enjoy the quiet and the safety of a smaller town. Residents will enjoy plenty of green space, as much of the city, especially in the south, features dense woodlands. Nearly 75% of residents own homes in North Royalton, which is comprised of a handful of neighborhoods with single-family homes sitting on quiet streets with little to no traffic.

House prices declining

The median price for a single-family home in North Royalton is $270,000 as of January 2024. This is 20% higher than the Ohio median. The prices had been rapidly rising over the past half-decade but have declined in recent months. Median prices in North Royalton have risen 58% over the past five years and 25% over the past three years. However, from January 2023 to January 2024, prices have dropped by 11%. One reason for prices being higher than the Ohio median is the quiet that comes with living further outside the major cities, with Cleveland and Akron still easily accessible. Homes also sit on larger lots than many in the larger cities.

Fun at Memorial Park

North Royalton has plenty of recreation space, as the city state’s almost 10% of its total area is parkland. The largest is Memorial Park, which has a splash pad, playgrounds and many basketball and tennis courts. Memorial Park is also the site for movie nights in the summer and other city-sponsored events. Many residents are members of the North Royalton YMCA, which serves as a place for community members to exercise inside during the cold winter months. The city promotes youth football and soccer leagues that play at Heasley Field and a youth baseball program that plays many games at York Road Ballfield. Hikers and bikers will appreciate being near the Cleveland Metroparks all-purpose trail, which provides miles of challenging terrain. Locals can also take the quick drive up to Cleveland to take in a Guardians or Cavaliers game, while there are a half dozen major golf courses just south of city limits.

Town Center District

The city of North Royalton is looking to create economic opportunities while maintaining a strong connection with current residents. One way to ensure both of these successes is through the proposed Town Center District, which would centralize restaurants and boutique shopping into one downtown area where community members could convene to shop and dine. There are also significant efforts being put into making the town more accessible to bicyclists and pedestrians. Another area of improvement that North Royalton has targeted is the city’s parks and recreation. Major upgrades are being done to Memorial Park and providing more natural grass areas for free play throughout the city.
