–– We Know This Neighborhood

This isn't a Google Maps relationship.

We know Kenmore. We've renovated multiple properties off Kenmore Boulevard and along the side streets that branch into Shadyside Park. We've worked with sellers near the new Pfeiffer-Miller South campus, the Rita's Italian Ice that just opened at 1060 Kenmore Boulevard, and the row houses that the rest of the city overlooked for thirty years.

When a Kenmore homeowner calls us, we don't pull up Google Maps to figure out where the property is. We know the block. We probably know the street. We might know the neighbor.

That's not marketing. That's what happens when you buy and manage well in a neighborhood instead of buying and flipping out of it.

–– The Neighborhood Is Changing

Kenmore is in the middle of a quiet comeback.

If you've owned property in Kenmore for a while, you've probably noticed the shift. For decades the neighborhood carried the weight of being overlooked — rubber workers left, storefronts emptied, houses sat. That story is being rewritten right now.

The Kenmore housing market reflects this momentum. Median home prices are meaningfully below the Akron average — which is exactly why properties here are getting bought, renovated, and held by people like us.

Median Home Value

Compared to ~$115k Akron-wide. That gap is structural value, not speculation.

$76M new school construction

Pfeiffer-Miller South Pre-K through 8 broke ground in 2026 on the former Kenmore High School campus. New school construction is one of the strongest signals of long-term institutional commitment in a neighborhood.

Kenmore Boulevard becoming "The BLVD"

Guitar shops, recording studios, live music venues, and a Rita's Italian Ice at 1060 Kenmore Boulevard are drawing people back to a corridor that sat half-empty for thirty years.

Better Kenmore CDC programming

Kenmore First Fridays and the BLVD Block Party bring thousands of residents and visitors back to the commercial district every summer. Real community activity, not marketing.

Akron's Innerbelt Master Plan

$500K budgeted for 2026 and 30+ projects, with pedestrian improvements and new housing investment running directly adjacent to Kenmore.

"Kenmore is in the early window of revitalization where buyer interest is real but renovation cost still pencils. That window doesn't stay open forever."

–– 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.
