Townhomes of Van Aken
Located on Van Aken Boulevard at the intersection of Onaway Road, the Townhomes of Van Aken feature 12 new single-family, town home-style residences with modern floor plans and amenities. Walk to Shaker Square or Chagrin-Lee to do your shopping, or hop on the Rapid for a quick trip east to the Van Aken District or west for an easy commute downtown.
A 15-year property tax abatement saves buyers up to $11,000 a year.
Van Aken Mews
On the same site as the Townhomes of Van Aken and representing a second phase of development for this area are the Van Aken Mews. Currently under construction, these will be two-story, single family townhome style units. They will also receive the 15 year tax abatement.
