The backyard has plenty of greenspace where a mature elm tree bestows shade and soothing birdsong. Prime highway proximity–roughly 1 min to I-77, 5 min to I-480, and 15 min to downtown Cleveland! Just 5 min to downtown Independence and its plethora of dining options; 6-8 min to grocery stores and pharmacies. Nature and fitness lovers are a 4-min drive/10-min bike to Hemlock Creek Trail, which adjoins the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail and intersects numerous others within the Metroparks Bedford Reservation and CVNP.
