Goodyear Heights isn't just an Akron neighborhood. It's the first planned worker community in America — commissioned by Frank Seiberling in 1913 so the men working twelve-hour shifts at the rubber plant could walk home to their own houses, on tree-lined streets designed by landscape architect Warren Manning.
We've worked on Goodyear Heights properties along Goodyear Boulevard, Tewksbury, English Drive, and the streets running off Reidsville Park. We know the original mail-order house plans. We know the brick foundations and the Sears bungalows. We know which streets sit higher and which ones drain into the creek.
Most importantly: we know that a hundred-year-old neighborhood needs buyers who understand what they're inheriting. Not flippers. Not wholesalers. People who actually plan to be there when the next century starts.
You've inherited a house and you're not sure what to do with it. We buy inherited properties as-is — no probate delay, no contractor estimates, no listing process. We can close as soon as the estate is clear.
How we help with inherited houses →If you own one rental or twenty across Summit County and you're done managing them, we'll buy the portfolio in one transaction. Seller financing available if a lump sum doesn't make sense for your taxes.
Sell your rental portfolio →Divorce, relocation, hardship, foreclosure threat — when a property has become a burden, we move quickly and we keep it private. Confidential conversations only.
When life changes the plan →Goodyear Heights has held its character better than almost any neighborhood in the Midwest. The original homes are still there. The street grid is still intact. Reidsville Park still anchors the neighborhood the way Seiberling designed it to.
But the first generation of owners is aging out. Houses are turning over for the first time in 30 or 40 or 60 years. What happens next depends on who buys them.
Below Akron-wide median (~$115k). Strong long-term ownership, real upside on the right deal.
Original owners and their families are passing properties to a new generation. Some inherit. Some sell. Most aren't sure what to do next.
The park system Seiberling designed remains the neighborhood's anchor. Walking distance to all of it.
Unlike many old Akron neighborhoods, the original housing stock is still largely intact. Brick streets, mature trees, deep lots.
Younger buyers and investors are seeking out neighborhoods with real history — Goodyear Heights checks every box.
Hundred-year-old neighborhoods don't get rebuilt. They get carried forward — or they get hollowed out. We're betting on carrying it forward.
We do not list. We do not wholesale. We are not assigning your contract to a stranger.
The person making you an offer is the person closing the deal.
Every deal is different. We structure transactions around what works for you, not what's convenient for us.
Simplest path. Fair cash offer, your timeline, no contingencies. Close as quickly as 14 days.
Spread the income over time, reduce the immediate tax hit, earn steady monthly payments.
Rolling proceeds into another investment? We flex our timeline to fit yours.
Multiple properties? One transaction, one closing, one check.
Not ready for a full sale? We lease, we invest, we keep an option to buy.
Sometimes the right deal is a mix. As long as it's a win-win, we'll find a way to make it work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Best landlord I've ever had. When something needs fixing, they're on it the same day. You can tell they actually care about the property and the people living in it."
Sarah M.Tenant since 2022"I inherited a property I couldn't manage. West Hill made me a fair cash offer and closed in two weeks. No games, no pressure. They even helped me coordinate the estate paperwork."
James K.Property Seller"The renovation they did on our duplex was incredible. They took a tired property and turned it into something the whole neighborhood is proud of."
