–– We Know This Neighborhood

We know the neighborhood Harvey Firestone designed.

Firestone Park was Harvey Firestone's answer to Frank Seiberling. In 1916, three years after Goodyear Heights opened, Firestone hired Alling S. DeForest — the landscape architect who designed his Columbiana estate — to lay out a neighborhood with curving boulevards centered around a central park. The result is the rare planned community that was built mixed-income from day one.

We know the Tudors, the Craftsman bungalows, and the brick four-squares that fill out the blocks east and south of the park. We know which streets were laid out for executives and which were planned for line workers — and we know that the construction quality on both is better than half the houses being built today.

Selling in Firestone Park means selling something that was built to last. Our offer reflects that. So does what we do with it after.

–– The Neighborhood Is Changing

What's happening in Firestone Park right now.

Firestone Park has quietly held its value through every Akron market cycle for over a century. The boulevards still curve. The trees are mature. The original housing stock is largely intact.

What's changing now is who's buying. As surrounding Akron neighborhoods see investor interest, Firestone Park is becoming a target for both quick-flip operators and long-term holders. The kind of buyer who shows up makes the difference for the next 50 years.

–– The Difference

What happens to your house after you sell it to us.

The other cash buyers don't talk about this part — because they don't care. With us, here's what actually happens to the property.

— STEP 01

Your property gets a real renovation.

Systems first — drainage, foundation, electrical, plumbing. Then finishes that hold up: real materials, real design decisions, the kind of work that turns a house someone is selling out of frustration into a home a family wants to stay in for ten years.

— STEP 02

A family moves in — and they stay.

Our tenant retention is 98%. People don't leave because they're happy. That's not luck — it's because the homes we put on the rental market are objectively better than the alternative.

— STEP 03

The whole block gets better.

Every property we take on is an investment in the street and the neighborhood. When we renovate a neglected duplex, the whole area benefits. We're not passing through. We live here, we invest here, and we plan to be here for a long time.
