Pearl Road goes straight to Cleveland
Parma Heights' main thoroughfare is Pearl Road. Also known as Highway 42, the road cuts through the community diagonally, with other essential streets, including York Road and West Ridgewood Drive, leading to it. "Parma Heights is appealing for its location," says Vittardi. "You can get to Interstate 71 fairly quickly." The city is also near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, less than four miles northwest. Given the easy access to highways, the community is particularly car-dependent, with metro bus routes only moving through the area's main roads and several amenities being beyond walking distance from most homes.

This city has so many styles of home
Parma Heights is home to various house styles, from foursquare, overhang and split-level homes to new traditional and even Tudor-revival houses. The price range for Parma Heights starts at $150,000 to only as high as $370,000—several thousand dollars under the country's median price of $417,700. "[It] has a lot of affordable midcentury-style homes," says local Realtor Mark Vittardi. "They appeal to buyers looking for something they can maintain, update and renovate to their liking." Owner of the Vittardi Real Estate Group, Vittardi has spent 11 years in Cuyahoga County, plenty of time to familiarize himself with the local market. The average lot is home to fenced backyards no bigger than 40 feet long and 80 feet wide with a shed, patio or trampoline. Most driveways take up a third of the front to create enough room for two cars.
