What local home styles and prices look like
A drive through Macedonia’s neighborhoods shows off winding streets, cul-de-sacs and a wide range of classic American home styles. Ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals, Craftsman designs and New Traditional houses often sit just doors apart.
Whether you are buying your first home or looking to move up, you will find a variety of options to consider. Home prices tend to follow a predictable pattern. Most single-family properties fall between the low $100,000s and upper $400,000s. A smaller number of homes sell from the $500,000s to $700,000s, though those higher-end listings are relatively uncommon.
Newer Traditional two-story builds can be found in the area.

The highly rated public and private school options in the area
Macedonia is part of the highly rated Nordonia Hills City Schools District, which it shares with several nearby communities. Dawn Semancik, a real estate agent with Real of Ohio and decades-long resident of Summit County, points out that the district's name, “Nordonia Hills," is a combination of the three communities: Northfield, Macedonia and Sagamore Hills. Semancik also notes that Nordonia High School is a big draw for families looking for public secondary schools. “They have a lot of great academic programs for early college courses, things like that,” she says.
Private school options are also available. St. Barnabas serves students from prekindergarten through eighth grade, while Lawrence School offers a full program from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Nordonia High School teaches students in grades 9 through 12.
Students enjoy a wide variety of subjects at Nordonia Middle School.
Kindergarten through fifth-grade students can attend Ledgeview Elementary School.
Lee Eaton Elementary School teaches students in grades five and six.

Where locals go for parks, trails and year-round outdoor fun
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, Macedonia's three distinct parks have a lot to offer. Sugarbush Park features wooded hiking trails and is within walking distance of many homes. Nordonia Hills Veterans Memorial Park, commonly known as Macedonia Memorial Park, is located on the city's west side and is home to the local veterans memorial. Longwood Park is the largest at 300 acres and includes baseball fields, a driving range and the Macedonia Recreation Center. Each June, the park hosts Summerfest, a weekend-long celebration where you can enjoy the amusement rides, hear live music and hit up some food trucks.
“There’s also Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We’re right down the street from that, and it’s a big part of why people move here,” Semancik says. “It’s a pretty big park, extending from Akron all the way up to Cleveland." She says the park has biking and hiking trails, and the Brandywine and Boston Mills ski resorts, which are only 10 minutes away. "There aren’t many black diamonds or anything at the resorts, but it’s great for kids who are on ski teams, and it’s very convenient access.”
Longwood Park has a fully stocked pond and a fishing pier for locals to use.
Residents of Macedonia can drive to Cuyahoga Valley National Park for skiing and hiking.
