About Maple Heights…
Maple Heights, a southeast suburb of Cleveland, was developed very quickly in the years following WWII, as the need for new housing in the Cleveland area was very significant.
It benefits from direct adjacency to I-480, for access to downtown Cleveland as well as other suburbs on the southeast side and the west side.
Property values in Maple Heights were hard-hit during the recession, but the past few years have brought considerable increases.It’s a very popular area for investors.
Maple Heights has a housing stock that is almost exclusively single family houses and condominiums/apartments, but unfortunately not a considerable amount of charm or character in general. A handful of duplexes and other multi-unit properties do exist on some of the older streets, but the vast majority of the housing is the cookie cutter cape cod or small colonial or ranch type “starter” house built in the 1950s or 1960s.
The city has a reputation for having a very strict point-of-sale ordinance and rental inspection, but recent anecdotes indicate there may be some loosening on that front.
The city may benefit from the new Amazon fulfillment center in nearby North Randall, creating many new jobs and strong demand for rental housing.
