Independence/ Parma/ Seven Hills
The small town of Independence boasts a superb tax base due to a thriving business district, and offers a stunning array of housing at all price points. The spirit of Independence is in its name and its small town center and Western Reserve architecture are additional attractions. Excellent schools and great proximity to downtown Cleveland continue to attract home buyers.
Known as a first ring suburb of Cleveland, Parma is one of the largest suburbs in all of Ohio. Primarily residential, the city attracts many younger buyers, due to its close proximity to employment in Downtown Cleveland, and rich cultural heritage from many immigrant communities, notably nationally recognized Ukrainian Village on State Rd, and many more residents of European and Asian ancestry. Seven Hills, immediately east, is a natural extension of the Parma community, sharing in its public and private school services and a fantastic supply of beautiful and affordable housing.
