Mayfield House for Sale

No two homes look quite the same in Mayfield, a neighborhood nestled between baseball fields and manufacturing facilities in Middletown, Ohio. The city boomed throughout the first half of the 20th century thanks to AK Steel, which was then known as the American Rolling Mill Company, and communities like Mayfield grew to support factory workers and their families. After a recession in the 1980s, populations declined; AK Steel officially left town in the early 2000s. Although some buildings are still unoccupied, lifelong local and Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtor Bill Hobbs says the city is “coming back to life.” Nonprofits schedule everything from holiday parades to themed First Fridays downtown, and historic buildings like the Sorg Opera House have been restored to their former glory. Mayfield Elementary School continues to welcome students more than 80 years after its founding. Homes in Mayfield sell after an average of 20 days, making it one of Middletown’s most popular neighborhoods. Although the majority of residents rent, prospective buyers will still find century-old Cape Cods, bungalows and 1950s-era ranch-style houses for sale. Prices start around $125,000 and can reach up
