It seems like many families are making a move to Cleveland, while others within the city are relocating to one of its outlying suburbs. Either way, it can be a great move. Because tributes to Cleveland, Ohio often appear in songs, on television, and in other pop culture outlets; those who have never visited often wonder what all the fuss is about. If you’ve never been to Cleveland, consider some highlights of this great American city: the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Museum of Art, and the gorgeous skyline along Lake Erie, to name a few.

As stated, downtown Cleveland has experienced a great deal of residential evacuation from the city to its surrounding suburbs – and that’s actually good news, at least for those who want to reside in Cleveland without committing to a metropolitan home. Many suburban housing options are now available right outside the city limits, primarily from two specific developers: Bennett Builders and Petros Homes, Inc. Although both builders have left their marks on several communities, each one has a neighborhood that stands out among the rest.

For instance, Petros Homes has created One Chippewa Trail, a luxury manor home community with only 13 sites. Exclusive living at its finest, One Chippewa Trail homes feature covetable extras like walk-out basements and wooded views. This elite community is perfect for the family of an executive moving to Cleveland for their downtown redevelopment efforts – close to work, but still a private retreat. Home prices begin in the high $500,000’s.

While Bennett Builders also offers high end communities, a more affordable option is available as well. Stonebridge Creek, a neighborhood of modest, but incredibly charming Midwest homes, starts at $199,000; with award-winning floor plans (as well as custom options), wooded lots, and a community center with swimming pool, Stonebridge Creek is a great place for the traditionally-minded family to call home.

To visit these outstanding new homes near Cleveland, find Stonebridge Creek on Conrad St. in Avon, Ohio, 44011; or call (440) 289-4284. Or, locate One Chippewa Trail in Brecksville, Ohio off Route 82 (across from the Metro Parks entrance).
