A small village in the Chagrin Valley

Along with these amenities, South Russell experiences far less crime than the national average. On a crime index scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the least amount of crime and 10 being the most, South Russell holds a 1, while the US average is 4.

Large homes and a hot market
Homes range from quaint ranches to new traditional homes with more yard space. Large Tudor and Colonial Revivals are also in the mix, sitting on lots as large as 3 acres. Prices range from $175,000 for a modest ranch that needs some loving, to upwards of $1.2 million for a large, modern cape cod on 3 acres. Cul-de-sacs are the standard, and most homes feature long, paved driveways that lead to attached two-car garages. As realtor Nicholas DeVito with EXP Realty explains, “South Russell is a pretty hot market with low inventory.” Houses spend an average of 22 days on the market compared to the US average of 42 days.
Large modern homes with well landscaped lawns are common throughout South Russell.

South Russell Village Park
South Russell Village Park is a stretching, lush 87-acre green space with a modest sized playground, walking trails and open green space for field sports. Here, residents hike, bike and walk their dogs across verdant grass-covered paths and hilled terrain. “The park even hosts music events that people get excited for,” DeVito says. The annual Chagrin Jams, a mini-music festival, utilizes the community park to highlight local performers.
The South Russell Village Park has plenty of wide open space for residents to enjoy.

Driver-centric layout
With a sprawling design, few paved sidewalks and essentials being a drive away, owning a car is a must in this village. Chillicothe Road runs through the community’s center, while I-422 is about 4 miles south. Cleveland is about 30 miles west of this community and can be reached in about 40 minutes if traffic allows, while Akron is about 34 miles south. Since it features mostly cul-de-sacs and is a good distance from major highways, there is very little through traffic in this village.
