What's the fastest-growing neighborhood in Medina County?
By new-build permit volume and school enrollment growth, Montville Township and Brunswick Hills Township are the two fastest-growing areas in Medina County right now, with Granger Township close behind on the luxury end.
You noticed a new subdivision going up off 18 last month and it made you wonder if you should be paying attention to what is getting built where. Fair question. Growth in Medina County concentrates in three places right now, and each one grows for a different reason.
Montville Township, which wraps around the north and west sides of Medina City, is the busiest for new construction in the medium price range. It has the sewer and water infrastructure, it feeds Medina City Schools, and it still has developable farmland. If you see cranes anywhere near Medina, they are probably in Montville.
Brunswick Hills Township is the northern growth engine. It is close to the I-71 and I-271 interchange, it commutes to both Cleveland and Akron, and it feeds Brunswick City Schools. Lots of households in the $400-600K range moving in from the Cleveland-side commute zone looking for more house.
Granger Township is the quieter luxury story. Bigger lots, custom builds, fewer permits but higher values per house. If a builder is doing a 900 thousand dollar custom home in Medina County, it is probably in Granger.
For an honest look at growth in your specific area, the Medina County Auditor site shows every recent sale on the parcel map, and the U.S. Census population estimates get updated annually for townships and villages. Combine those two and you can see growth block by block, not just city by city.
