A city by name, a small town at heart
Ravenna is officially called a city, but walking the streets imparts the feel of historic small-town Ohio. Away from the busy interstates and with most amenities within a half-mile of each other, local homeowners enjoy accessible community resources without the noise of places like Akron, 17 miles southeast. The city's main street, fittingly called Main Street, is home to dozens of brick-faced buildings from the mid-to-late 1800s housing the city's restaurants and storefronts. The street also splits the city into two sides: the north and the south. Both sides are home to residential streets with grassy front lawns and historic houses within steps of amenities.

Ravenna has historic homes
Ravenna's small-town charm shines brightest in its housing. Ryan Poland is a local Realtor with Jack Kohl Realty, with over a hundred closed purchases in the area. When asked about the city's market, Poland says, "There are a lot of affordable historical houses here. People typically buy and renovate an old house but keep the historic feel before moving in." Some homes are from as early as the mid-1800s and have kept up to date throughout the years with renovations. Houses start at $30,000 with manufactured housing and older unrenovated homes. More well-kept properties enter the market at $100,000 and can have between two and four beds. Passed $150,000, houses are either newly or recently renovated, selling for as high as $300,000. The three most common styles are ranch, bungalow and Cape Cod, with around 20 feet between each house and sidewalks on every street.

Kids play castle at the Ravenna Community Playground
Ravenna has three recreational parks: Ravenna City Park and Ravenna Community Playground in the north and Havre's Woods Park in the south. Ravenna City Park is the largest of the three at 25 acres and offers sports areas, a playground and a skatepark. The city uses the park to hosts public events, such as Reed Memorial Library's Reedfest Summer Kick-Off in early June. Harve's Woods Park is the next largest and is dedicated to baseball and nature walks with two baseball fields and a walkway going through the surrounding thicket of trees. The Ravenna Community Playground is a sprawling castle-themed area with wood bridges, a woodcut image of a dragon and point-roofed towers.

Guido's Pizza is the city's most popular restaurant
The city has many options for out-of-home dining and nights out. Guido's Pizza and Catering on Main Street is one of the most popular restaurants in town. Inside, family photos and plaques cover the lobby's walls. In the dining area, wallpaper murals of the Italian countryside surround booths and ornately carved dining chairs. The local movie theater, Ravenna 7 Movies, is right next door. The venue captures a 1950s look, complete with an Art Deco entryway lit with neon lights and old cameras covered in gauges and valves. Moving on to shopping, many go to the Giant Eagle near the east edge of town. The nearest locally sourced goods are at Giulitto Farm's Market, a 6-mile drive north via North Chestnut Street. The nearest mall, Summit Mall, is much further, 28 miles away via Interstate 76 West.

The Balloon Fest in Ravenna brings visitors from all over the area.
The city's skies are filled with hot air balloons in September
The previously mentioned Reedfest Summer Kick-Off happens every June in Ravenna City Park to boost community engagement and promote the Reed Memorial Library as a public resource. When asked about the event's festivities, the library's Marketing Coordinator, Rebecca Miller, says, "The kick-off follows a new theme every year. This year [2024], we're doing a western theme. There will be square dancers and themed games. I know the parks department wants to do a hay ride. We'll also have food trucks and a petting zoo." Another event is the Ravenna Balloon A-Fair in September, where hot air balloons drift across the city’s sky. Kicking off with a children's parade along Main Street, festivities such as helicopter rides, a car show and balloon rides occur at Sunbeau Valley Farm, less than a mile west of town.
Main Street is the center of the city's activity
Most homes are within a mile of Main Street’s stores an restaurants, making it the city's hub for all kinds of traffic. "A lot of people choose to walk to the restaurants and stores on Main Street since its so close," says Miller. "There are sidewalks on, I think, every street, so it's easy to get around on foot." On top of that, the roadway is directly connected to the cities of Kent and Stow, 5 and 10 miles west. Busing is also common. Provided by PARTA, routes go through both Main Street and the residential roads connecting to it. The nearest major highway is Interstate 76, a 3-mile drive south via South Prospect Road.
There is plenty of public transportation available in Ravenna Ohio.

Ravenna has lots of small flood zones
Flood zones are common in the area, primarily affecting yards and residential streets. Some residents can deal with as much as 3 feet of water during and after nasty weather, which can leak into basements if not correctly sealed. Properties on the outskirts of the city are the most affected.
