Seeing double is common in Twinsburg. This suburban city in Northeast Ohio holds the largest gathering of twins in the world called Twins Days, but that’s not the only thing here that comes in pairs. Residents are equidistant from the major city centers of Cleveland and Akron. “The location is good because you’re really close to the highways,” says Amy McDougald Eckard, Realtor with the Amy Team at Keller Williams Chervenic. But Twinsburg's appeal is not limited to its proximity. The city of nearly 20,000 has desirable public schools, accessible housing, and a dedicated local government, among other amenities. “There are lots of nice parks, restaurants, and a concert pavilion that hosts a fun summer concert series,” McDougal Eckard says.

Year-round recreation
The city of Twinsburg provides its residents with numerous recreational opportunities ranging from city parks and a community center to the Twinsburg Water Park, complete with a water slide for summer-long fun. “The Parks and Rec Department is really robust,” McDougald says. Gleneagles Golf Course is a great place to tee off thanks to its challenging 18-hole course. Outdoor enthusiasts will feel small when looking up at the towering sandstone ledges found at Liberty Park. Liberty Park has miles of trails across 3,000 acres and a recently renovated visitors center. Snow may be heavy during winter, but residents can use this to their advantage by hitting the slopes at Brandywine Ski Resort, just 10 miles away.

Newer houses on manicured lawns
Prospective homebuyers will find a variety of housing styles dominated by newer developments. “Theres lot of new construction with 15 different developments,” McDougal says. “It's nice because if you want to build a home, you can, whereas a lot of other cities are already built out.” Older ranchers on large plots can be found scattered throughout the subdivisions, while multi-family townhouses are located closer to the commercial areas of town. Colonial revivals and contemporary bi-levels are common within the divisions, and many sit on sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs. Two-car garages are recurrent, and houses come with well-manicured lawns backing up to dense forests. Older residences begin pricing at $200,000, while large farmhouses can reach $600,000.
