Medina County, Ohio

The honest guide to finding your next home.

Looking at houses in Medina County? You'll get more out of this site if you start with the neighborhood, not the agent. So we wrote a guide. About the neighborhoods, and about the agents who work them. Nobody pays us to be ranked higher. What you read here is what we'd say if we were sitting across from you at the Panera on Court Street.

Explore neighborhoods

Real Medina County, told straight.

Zillow won't tell you that the west side of Brunswick Hills is on septic instead of city sewer. Or that the Granger / Montville border splits one street into two school districts. Or that Hinckley Township is gorgeous but 25 minutes from a real grocery store. Locals know this stuff. We're writing it down.

Medina (City)

The county seat. Walkable downtown, the best schools, and the prices that come with both.

Brunswick

The population center. Affordable. Easy commute into Cleveland. Feels mostly suburban.

Hinckley Township

Gorgeous countryside. Eight miles to the Costco in Strongsville. Don't expect quick errands.

Granger Township

Top schools. Property taxes a step higher than the township next door. Big lots, country feel.

Wadsworth

Southern Medina's affordable counterweight. Has its own downtown. Longer drive to Cleveland.

Valley City / Liverpool Township

Rural east-county pocket. Big lots, a community lake, very quiet.

Montville Township

Right next to Medina city, on the west side. Township instead of city services. Bigger lots, decent schools, taxes to match.

Seville / Westfield Center

The southwest corner of the county. Westfield Center is basically the Westfield Insurance company town. Seville has the small downtown. Cheap, rural, quiet.

Find an agent

We list every agent. The reviews are honest.

Every Medina County agent gets a profile here, whether they want one or not. Reviews come from people who actually closed a deal with that agent. Nobody can review anonymously. And no agent gets to delete a bad review. If an agent doesn't like what's published about them, they're welcome to reply. They don't get to take it down.

Why we exist

Most real estate sites are sales tools dressed up as resources.

Zillow makes money when agents pay for placement. Realtor.com is in the same business. Most of the 'neighborhood guides' you'll find online got written by an agent trying to land that exact listing, not by somebody trying to be useful to you. We thought we'd try a different model. Buyer-facing partners (mortgage, inspection, title) pay us when they pick up a customer through here. Agents pay our sister company Yoke Interactive for marketing kits. Neither pot of money buys better placement in our reviews, and neither one lets you hide a bad one. That's the rule. We wrote it down so you can hold us to it.
