Suburbia with a rural feel
Located between Cleveland and Akron, the Village of Oakwood is a family-focused community that combines suburban and rural characteristics. “Oakwood is actually a village with a small population and a rural feel,” says Michael Ferrante, Realtor with Century 21 Homestar. “One great thing about living here is that it is the perfect midway point between downtown Cleveland and Akron or anywhere in northeast Ohio.” This makes commuting convenient, putting shopping centers, attractions, and downtown destinations just a short drive away. It’s not all about convenience to the cities though. The main thoroughfare, Broadway Avenue, is home to big-box stores and hometown restaurants alike, while the Oakwood Community Center provides activities that families can enjoy.
Post-World War II bungalows, Ranch-style homes makeup market
Most Oakwood residents are homeowners, with only 27% of the population renting. Private driveways and well-kept lawns define the community's housing identity. Housing styles in Oakwood include post-World War II bungalows, ranch-style homes, and colonials. Renovation projects in the area can cost as little as $60,000, while ranch-style homes and bungalows typically range from $110,000 to $220,000. For those seeking more land, two- or three-bedroom homes on half-acre lots are priced at $350,000.
New construction for Bedford City District schools
Glendale Primary School, serving kindergarten through second grade, receives a C grade from Niche. Students in third through fifth grades attend Carylwood Intermediate School, which also scores a C. Heskett Middle School, serving sixth to eighth graders, has a C-minus rating. Students then move on to Bedford High School, which once served as a potential nuclear fallout shelter, scores a C rating. All schools are part of the Bedford City School District, which is undergoing a facility expansion project that includes plans for a new high school.
Convenient access to two major interstate highways
Oakwood is conveniently located near Interstates 480 and 271, providing residents with easy access to downtown Cleveland, less than 20 miles away. Heading south, Akron is just a short 30-minute drive, making it one of the nearest major cities in Ohio. Nearby attractions include Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the state’s only national park, just nine miles from the neighborhood. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is 20 miles away. The nearest hospital, Cleveland Clinic-South Pointe, is eight miles outside the neighborhood. Active rail lines bring freight trains through the area at night, which can be heard in some of the residential areas on the western side of the village.
Host family reunions at Oakwood Community Park
Residents can use the village sidewalks to reach Oakwood Community Park, which includes playgrounds and baseball fields for Little League games. The park is a popular venue for family reunions, with reservation spaces available exclusively for residents. Bedford Reservation Park, located three miles away, features trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, picnic areas, and golf courses. The reservation also spans more than 2,200 acres.
Broadway Ave is a hub for shopping, dining options
Broadway Avenue offers a variety of fast-food options, discount stores, and big-box retailers like Sam’s Club, where many residents shop for groceries. “If you live in Oakwood, best believe you will grocery shop at Sam’s Club. It’s almost a main attraction because that is what most people do here,” says Andrea Wilson, a Realtor with BHR & Associates. Dolphin Restaurant, a family-owned establishment that has served the community for over 30 years, serves various dishes from breakfast crepes to veal cutlets. Mister T's Wonderfreeze, a cash-only walk-up ice cream parlor known for soft serve, sundaes, shakes, and hot dogs at reasonable prices, is temporarily closed.
Given the land many homeowners occupy, the neighborhood supports several local landscaping businesses. Petitti Garden Center has been providing high-quality plants since 1971. Oakwood Village Hardware & Supply focuses on indoor projects like plumbing and electrical work, while Woodcraft specializes in woodworking tools, supplies, books, and project plans.
Monthly events on Oakwood Village Calendar
Monthly events at the Oakwood Community Center include activities for the entire family, ranging from Zumba and Yoga, to rubbish pick up at the local community park, to gymnastics, kung fu, and science club classes. Summers get lively, as kids can participate in eight-week summer activities such as bowling, basketball, line dancing, and horseback riding. In collaboration with the mayor, Oakwood Community Concerts hosts a free summer series featuring R&B and rock-and-roll acts, including The Drifters and The Van-Dells.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
