Sagamore Hills offers relaxed residential living close to parks
A quiet residential atmosphere, highly rated schools and a bounty of parks draw buyers to Sagamore Hills, a township of just under 11,000 people halfway between Cleveland and Akron. The community offers straightforward commutes to both cities and a relaxed home base to return to at the end of the day. Residents also enjoy easy access to the largest Cleveland Metroparks reservation and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. “Sagamore Hills is a bedroom community,” says Holly Zingale, a Realtor with Keller Williams Chervenic Realty. She says when buyers are looking for homes in the Nordonia Hills City School District area, “Sagamore Hills would be the first place people would choose.”
Sagamore Hills offers retail options along the major roadways.

Access to a national park, ski resorts and river recreation
Sagamore Hills borders the 4,300-acre Brecksville Reservation, which has multiple paths for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The community also hugs Cuyahoga Valley National Park, another hiking destination with 125 miles of trails past caverns, waterfalls and streams. The nearby Station Road Bridge Trailhead offers access to the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and the Cuyahoga River Water Trail, a recreational river paddling route. “It’s close to Brandywine Ski Run, so there’s skiing over there,” Zingale says. “There are two ski resorts right down the street from each other. Boston Mills is in Peninsula, and Brandywine Ski Run is in Sagamore Hills.” Residents are also less than 5 miles from MGM Northfield Park.

The community has townhouses and post-war homes on roomy lots
Zingale says maintaining a quiet atmosphere is a priority for residents. “They want to keep it a bedroom community,” she says. “There’s really nowhere else to put anything because it’s all houses and they all have more land.” Midcentury architectural styles like Cape Cod, ranch-style and split- and bi-level homes are common, and most houses are on roomy parcels with green lawns and mature trees. “A lot of the older houses have acre lots or more because when people started building houses there, they had wells and septic [systems]… so that’s why the lots are a lot bigger over there,” Zingale says. A typical two- or three-bedroom single-family home costs between $200,000 and $350,000, while New Traditional homes built after the 1990s range from $300,000 to $500,000. Larger properties on spacious lots sell for $550,000 to $730,000. Condos typically range from $100,000 to $300,000, but four-bedroom units and detached townhouses can sell for up to $375,000.
Wraparound porches appear on some of the historic homes in the area.
Because of the trees in the yards of most homes, lawn-maintenance is going to require some raking here and there.
