Chagrin Valley continues to appeal to homebuyers

A

rea Realtors agree that the housing market in the Chagrin Valley is healthy.

So healthy, in fact, that Berkshire Hathaway Home Services’ Sharon Friedman calls the market in Chagrin Falls “bonkers.”

“Consistently escalating,” she said.

“There hasn’t been a drop since COVID(-19).”

Friedman Melanie Richardson of Engel & Volkers Distinct Real Estate in Pepper Pike calls it “strong and desirable.”

“Older homes in the Chagrin Valley do well due to charm, larger lots, established neighborhoods and personal preference for Kaufman proximity to desired amenities,” she said.

The Chagrin Valley is made up of a 13 quaint villages and townships tucked among rolling hills, where excellent schools and highway access draw families and empty nesters.

The communities are: Richardson Auburn Township, Bainbridge Township, Bentleyville, Chagrin Falls, Gates Mills, Hunting Valley, Moreland Hills, Newbury, Orange, Russell Township, Pepper Pike, South Russell and Woodmere. They are often, in the real estate world, grouped together as “Chagrin Falls.”

“When people say ‘Chagrin Falls,’ it can also encompass Bainbridge, South Russell, Bentleyville, and the 44022 and 44023 ZIP

codes,” Friedman said. “Sometimes, agents will say it’s Chagrin Falls because they think Chagrin Falls has more allure.”

Buyers pay premium price for that allure, especially Chagrin Falls’ renovated historic homes, Friedman said.

“People want to be within proximity to the village,” she said.

Downtown Chagrin Falls’ central Triangle Park surrounded by Main Street restaurants, shops, parks and the Chagrin River falls make it especially appealing.

Its $715,000 median price for a singlefamily home is well above the national average, but low inventory means it’s a seller’s market, according to Richardson.

While traditional 30-year mortgage rates are holding steady around 6 to 6.4%, Adam S. Kaufman of Howard Hanna’s Pepper Pike office said that rates do not affect the high end of the market.

“There’s lots of cash out there, too,” Friedman said.

New construction is also plentiful in the Chagrin Valley, where, according to Friedman, new condominiums command up to $3 million.

“New construction homes are appealing as they offer modern layouts, lower maintenance and energy efficiency,” Richardson said.

They include entry-level senior living condominium options within Judson Retirement Community’s South Franklin Circle, Eliza At Chagrin Falls, an Eliza Jennings community on Chillicothe Road, both in Bainbridge Township.

“It’s an option for people who want to stay in the community,” Friedman said.

Outside Chagrin Falls, buyers seeking land are drawn to the 2-acre-minimum lots in Moreland Hills.

“Unless the property was grandfathered in,” Friedman said, describing one buyer who is tearing down a “cute and clean” house on a 1.7-acre lot.

“The buyers didn’t want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to renovate it,” she said.

New development is also booming in

areas such as Bainbridge Township and South Russell, due to Route 422, which Friedman said offers country-life living with easy proximity to the city.

“It’s 25 minutes from Bainbridge to the airport,” she said.

“Anything that’s in good condition, and updated, whether old or new, will sell quickly,” Kaufman said. “I love how the Cleveland market has evolved, especially the luxury market.”

Friedman has watched the Chagrin

“Some peopleand want joyous to go there because Passover. of lower homeowners’ and auto insurance, because it’s outside Cuyahoga County,” she said. “Pilgrim Village in Bainbridge has a The Emerman Team pocket lake for swimming and boating.

One house I sold there had four offers, all over list price. The buyers from Canton are ecstatic to be moving there.”

They have established a safe place with programs for people of all ages with special social needs, ranging from Sunday Circle, after-school and summer and winter camps, tutoring and more. Friendship Circle is also a place where teens can learn the power of volunteering, through pairing one-on-one with children enrolled in the program.

“The Marozovs have dedicated the last 20 years to empowering Jewish teens to do volunteer work here,” Schwartz said. “We’ve had about 300 teens come through these doors.”

Each week, Friendship Circle serves about 150 clients in programs that require nothing more from applicants than a 10-minute registration process. No official medical diagnosis for conditions like ADHD, ADD, oppositional defiant disorder, or ODD, and others is required because Friendship Circle’s mission is to help everyone who feels a need.

“That’s the nice thing – we’re here to help,” Schwartz said. “Parents can get stalled in applications (for other programs) because they’re so used to filling out 30 pages, with doctor diagnosis, and it’s so overwhelming.

ou are doing something right when children riding by point to a building and tell their parents that they want to go there – and it’s neither candy nor a toy store.

Such is the effect of Friendship Circle of Cleveland, an organization that serves children and adults with special needs.

“Our mission is to spread light throughout the world,” Chava Schwartz, program director, said. “We recognize the light in every child’s soul, whether they have special needs or not.”

Housed in a former church-turnedsynagogue at 27900 Gates Mills Blvd. in Pepper Pike, Friendship Circle draws clientele of all ages, although their core peer-topeer programming focuses on children and teens ages 5 to 18 with targeted programs for young adults ages 17 to 23. Their participants are primarily from Cleveland’s eastern suburbs.

Friendship Circle of Cleveland was founded in 2003 by Rabbi Yossi Marozov and his wife, Estie Marozov. The organization, affiliated with the Chabad Hasidic movement, started as a grassroots initiative matching five children with developmental

That’s not our mission. Ours is to build friendships, connections and support for kids with special needs.”

The “no-diagnosis” aspect of Friendship Circle is important, she said.

“Sometimes, parents see that their kids need support, but because there is no official diagnosis, they don’t get it,” Schwartz said. “Even if they get it, there is no guidebook. There is a whole host of diagnoses that can affect friendships. That’s why we’re called ‘Friendship Circle,’ because children need friends, and they find them here. We can handle their social needs. It’s beautiful. Children love our programs.”

The programs are led by Friendship Circle’s 18-member staff, described by Schwartz as “highly-creative people.”

“We have so much fun around here,” she said.

Schwartz said Friendship Circle makes sure that everyone has a best first day.

“The kids run in and are fine, but the parents are jittery,” she said. “All are in groups together, and the teens guide and help them grow. We are all friends here and build off each other’s strengths.”

Friendship Circle also offers events for parents, such as fortnightly morning coffees for mothers, and Dad’s Night Out. Its adult social skills program teaches

life skills such as grocery shopping, creating menus and hygiene, as well as how to meet and greet people and handle emotions.

Its newest program, “Friends At Home,” was launched last September by staff member Bashi Levowitz. Most popular in the Orthodox community, it pairs children and teens with one- or two-hour home visits that can include trips to local parks. It has 70 participants.

“She knocked it out of the park,” Schwartz said.

Summer is the busiest time at Friendship Circle. Day camp is offered from June 8 through Aug. 14 not only at its Pepper Pike location, but also on Cleveland’s west side.

Although Friendship Circle undertakes no testing to measure its success, Schwartz said that it receives plenty of positive feedback. Based on parent surveys, its retention rate is 75%.

“Kids beg to come back,” she said.

One current obstacle the organization faces is space. It is beginning to outgrow its current space so as part of its long-term plans, the organization hopes to demolish the existing building and construct a new facility on the other side of the property.

Friendship Circle is supported through grants, fees, an annual My Walk 4 Friends event – this year on Sept. 6 – and donors.

“We don’t turn anyone away,” Schwartz said. “Just call. We can help.”

ocal shopping centers are giving visitors more reasons to linger long after they’ve checked off their shopping lists this summer.

With build-your-own bouquet bars, cocktail jazz lounges, custom fashion experiences and dog-friendly events on the calendar, Pinecrest in Orange and Eton Chagrin Boulevard in Woodmere are turning retail therapy into full-day summer entertainment.

Ana Liberati, Pinecrest marketing director, said that Blossom Flower Bar is slated to open at Pinecrest in the coming days and has generated a lot of buzz in the community.

“The 1,500-square-foot floral shop, located between Club Pilates and Shake Shack, will offer the chance to build your own bouquet or arrangement with hands-on creative experiences, workshops and private events,” she said.

Gorjana, which Liberati described as a “stylish” jewelry brand, and Solidcore, a fitness studio, will open later this summer.

Aritzia and Abercrombie & Fitch will also be moving into Pinecrest later this year.

According to Liberati, the shopping center’s open-air environment is an attractive quality that brings guests out during the summer months.

“Especially with more leisure time in the summer, visitors can spend the whole day enjoying best-in-class retailers, chef-driven restaurants, entertainment offerings and more,” Liberati said.

Graeter’s offers kosher ice cream at Pinecrest as well.

This summer, events at Pinecrest will include Putt Around Pinecrest for Father’s Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 20, an Art Walk from 3 to 7 p.m. June 27 and a “Yappy Hour” event where shoppers can bring their dogs and socialize on July 9. Finally, a Back to School Bash will round out Pinecrest’s summer calendar in August.

Leaving Pinecrest is RED, the Steakhouse, which will be relocating to Eton Chagrin Boulevard in the former Heritage Steak and Whiskey location at 28869 Chagrin Blvd. in Woodmere. The steakhouse is set to open early summer.

According to Stacie Schmidt, vice president of marketing for Stark Enterprises which owns and manages Eton Chagrin

Boulevard, customers have been enjoying their newest cocktail bar, Nightjar, which opened Feb. 13 by founders Sam Friedman and Michael Paley. Schmidt called it a “hidden gem” for those looking to enjoy some drinks and music this summer.

“It’s an amazing little space,” Schmidt said. “You feel like you are transported into New Orleans. It’s a cocktail jazz bar with classic drinks, live music and an intimate, hospitality-driven setting.”

Schmidt also added that a new location that has gained quite a bit of popularity is Becco Bags, founded by Chagrin Falls resident Caitlin Osborne, which opened at Eton Chagrin Boulevard on April 10.

“Becco stands for her four children’s initials, and the O is for Osborne,” Schmidt said. “They’re unique bags, and there is embroidery inside the store where you can make custom patches. It’s been really big for colleges and sports teams, and they host kids birthday parties where they can choose their own custom patch and attach it to a bag.”

Kilgore Trout, a Cleveland original, will also be expanding its location at Eton Chagrin Boulevard to almost 10,000 square feet, which is set to open next month.

“They are a classic location in our market with beautiful apparel and personal services,” Schmidt said. “They’re building a new seamstress area where people can come in and get their clothes hemmed, so we’re excited about that as well.”

Eton Chagrin Boulevard is also home to Fiamma by Mendel, a kosher restaurant.

In addition to its shopping offerings, Eton Chagrin Boulevard opened Mahjong Maison in February and also offer live music every Thursday with Boulevard Beats. On Aug. 1, Eton will host a Color Craze – End of Summer Bash that will feature shopping, singing, dancing, coloring and more.
