Northfield is centrally located, Cleveland and Akron are 20 miles away

Northfield is a small village located between Cleveland and Akron. “Everything is centrally located, so you can get to Akron or Cleveland in 30 minutes,” says Realtor Taylor Whitlock with Howard Hanne. “Plus, it’s Summit County, so there are cheaper taxes.” The village was once part of Olde Northfield Township, which was split into Macedonia, Northfield, Northfield Center and Sagamore Hills. The communities are still interconnected, with residents traveling among them for shopping, dining and recreation. Many locals still think of them as a unit. “When you’re talking about Northfield, you’re talking about three cities because they are all grouped together,” Whitlock says.

Variety of homes, condos, and townhouses with a low price point

Manicured lawns stretch to the road, although sidewalks line some residential streets in Northfield. Oak and pine trees dot the lots, whose median size is less than half an acre. Most properties were built between 1950 and the 2020s. “There’s anything from condos and older homes to new construction,” says Realtor Theresa Walters with eXp Realty. Ranch-style houses, split-levels and Colonial Revivals are common, as are New Traditionals. Prices for a single-family home range from $120,000 to $400,000, depending on size and location. “You can get a pretty good home for, I’d say, under $250,000, but then we have properties that are higher value,” Whitlock says. Condos and townhouses are also available, typically costing between $170,000 and $270,000. Many of these condo and townhouse communities, as well as some single family homes, have homeowners associations. Monthly fees vary, but can cost as much as $500.

MGM Northfield Park, local shops and restaurants in the area

Although MGM Northfield Park has a full-service casino and over 200 horse races a year, it's popular for other reasons as well. “Locals go there for entertainment,” Walters says. “There’s more than just gambling; there are restaurants and concerts.” Center Stage, an 1,800-seat music hall, has hosted household names like ZZ Top and Howie Mandel. There are four restaurants and bars, including the high-end Valley’s Edge steakhouse. The Buffet is an all-you-can-eat establishment that pays homage to Las Vegas-style buffets.

There are plenty of dining options outside of the casino. Northfield Inn is a longstanding local favorite that's served Italian and American classics since 1960. Rosati’s Frozen Custard features a new daily flavor alongside the standard chocolate and vanilla custards. “Me, personally, I go to Dos Coronas, which is a Mexican restaurant,” Whitlock says. There are several other chains and franchises in the area, including Dollar General. Locals shop at Peppers Fresh Market, a family-owned, full-service grocery store, or travel to the Giant Eagle in Macedonia. Target, Walmart and Home Depot are about 3 miles south.

People from far and wide gather at the racetrack to place their bets on the thrilling races.

Smith Park, a nature preserve and Cuyahoga Valley offer time outside

Smith Park is one of the main parks in Northfield, with amenities that include a playground, baseball field and plenty of open green space. The village puts on a monthly movie night at the park in June through October. Another event that locals look forward to every year is the community garage sale, which occurs on the last weekend of May. The Pitluk Preserve spans about 11 acres of forests, wildflower prairies and a ravine. It is next to the nearly 33,000-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which has over 125 miles of hiking trails. Blossom Music Center is also in the park, and the Cuyahoga Scenic Railroad has several themed and sightseeing rides throughout the year.
