People move to Copley Township for one reason above all others: the Copley-Fairlawn schools. In a market like that, the single most important development isn't a new store or a road — it's what happens to the schools. And what just happened is a big deal.
What's happening in Copley Township right now
A $50 million school investment just wrapped. Copley-Fairlawn's districtwide building improvement project is substantially complete after roughly a year and a half of work — part of a 30-year, $50 million bond-funded program, capped by a new lobby and entrance at Copley High School. When the thing that drives your entire housing market gets a $50 million upgrade, that's about the best news a homeowner in a school-district town can get.
Montrose keeps filling in. The Montrose corridor in the township's north end continues to add retail and services — Panera, honeygrow, a new Akron Children's urgent care, West Side Gymnastics, Town Tavern, and even proposed EV charging stations. Everyday amenities like these are part of why families pay a premium to be here.
Why the houses here are what they are
Copley's housing mixes established residential neighborhoods with newer subdivisions built over the last 30 years, and household incomes run well above the county average. Values track above the Akron average and appreciate consistently — driven, again, by the schools. A fresh $50 million investment in those schools reinforces the whole thing.
What this means if you own a house here
If you own in Copley Township, you're holding property in one of the strongest suburban markets in the region, and the anchor of that market just got a major upgrade. That's a strong position. Selling here to a patient, long-term buyer often beats a listing cycle, particularly for a home that needs updating.
