Lake County

Situated along Lake Erie northeast of Cleveland, this county of 232,101 residents maintains a stable housing market with 364 active listings currently available. The median home price sits at $289,900, with buyers paying an average of $181 per square foot for homes that typically span 2,165 square feet. A 75.1% owner-occupancy rate reflects a community where long-term residency is the norm rather than the exception, supported by a median household income of $77,952 that keeps purchasing power reasonably aligned with local prices. The market offers a range of options across its mix of lakefront communities, established suburbs, and smaller residential neighborhoods.
