A small town by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Squeezed between the eastern border of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Ohio Route 8, Boston Heights is a community full of rural charm, natural beauty and simple commutes to Akron in the south and Cleveland in the north. "We like to think of ourselves as the gateway to the national park," says Ron Antal, Mayor and 14-year resident of Boston Heights Village. This relationship with Ohio's only national park gives the village a spacious and tranquil environment. A resident can homestead on a multi-acre plot or live in a large and luxurious estate. While the village may lack amenities such as a varied pallet of local stores and restaurants, the small-town atmosphere makes it a desirable home for many.
Welcome to Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Northfield, Ohio.

Brandywine Falls is 60 feet
The thick forests of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park cover over 33,000 acres of wild habitats and historical landmarks, such as the remnants of the Ohio Canal. "I'll tell you, this park is a gift." Says Pamela Barnes, community engagement supervisor for the park. Nearby visitor's areas include Brandywine Falls to the north of the village—famed for its 60-foot waterfall—the East Rim Bike Trail to the east and the Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio's Camp Ledgewood on Akron Peninsula Road. In the winter, residents can shred the snow at the Boston Mills Ski Resort, less than a 3-mile drive into the park. For outdoor fun away from the national park, many go to Matthews-Thomas Park on Olde 8 Road. The greenspace offers playgrounds, a baseball field, tree shade and a pond.

The Annual Fall Fest is bushels of fun
The village's small-town nature shines brightest in its yearly events. One of the largest celebrations is the Annual Fall Festival.

Attendees can enjoy caramel apples and get their faces painted while enjoying the festivities.
The Boston Heights neighborhood is located near Route 8 and the Ohio Turnpike.
