Homes in Highland Heights hold their value over time

Highland Heights has multiple housing styles throughout the city, including Ranch homes, bungalows, Colonials, and modern condominiums. The inventory in the city mirrors the Cuyahoga County market, which is low. "It's definitely a seller's market," says Realtor Nicole Joeright, who works for Platinum Real Estate. "There are a lot of higher-end homes; the taxes are higher on these properties, and they are valued pretty well, and they hold their value," Joeright says. Starter homes and modest fixer-uppers can start at $125,000, while upscale Colonial homes and expansive Cape Cods reach upwards of $810,000. Newer construction houses cost $950,000 and come with a patio and porch, surrounded by trees. Stonewater Golf Course surrounds homes in the golf community. The median home price in the city is $430,000. Highland Heights has a low crime rate, with a CAP score of two. The city also has a Vacation House Watch program, where the police department looks after residents' homes while they are away.
