About Forest Park in Strongsville
Forest Park is a scenic, heavily wooded residential swim and tennis community with approximately 170 single-family homes abutting the Metroparks in the northeast quadrant of Strongsville, Ohio. This subdivision is situated immediately south of I-80/Turnpike off Handle Rd and Webster Rd, comprising the streets of Circle Ridge, Emerald Edge Pl, Forest Park Dr, Forest Point Pl, High Point, Park Moss Ave, Park Point, Pine Tree Pl, Pleasant Ridge Pl, Point Overlook Pl, and Timber Edge Pl.
With the exception of Timber Edge Pl cul-de-sac homes (built by Sweet Briar Homes from 2003-2020), homes were constructed by the renowned, award-winning developer/home builder, Bob Schmitt, between 1970-1977, many of which have since been updated.
Forest Park facades offer traditional or contemporary styles with Schmitt’s signature vertical cedar paneling.
Homes include ranch, split-level, and colonial floorplans that mainly range from 1,600-2,700 square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and 2.5-3.5 bathrooms.
A pioneer in energy-efficient building, many homes are all electric (heat pumps, electric stoves, electric fireplaces).
Common features include post-and-beam construction, hardwood or LVP flooring, tile flooring, main-floor laundry rooms with cabinets and utility tubs, open-concept living rooms and formal dining areas, bonus/family rooms, numerous fireplaces, and oversized windows and/or double-wide sliding glass doors along the back of the home that welcome light and unhindered views of backyard foliage. Sleeping quarters are separated from the main living areas for added privacy. Owner’s suites have walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms soaking/jetted tubs and/or walk-in showers, and dual sink vanities. Most homes are slab-on-ground, but there are some homes with basements. Garages, either front or side-entry, accommodate 2 cars.
Homesites measure approximately 90-100′ wide and primarily range from 0.31 to 0.46 acres, with some larger lots up to 1.36 acres.
Backyards are appointed with multi-tiered decks, covered or screened porches, and/or patios.
During development, Bob Schmitt made an effort to preserve as many mature trees as possible. As such, nearly every Forest Park home has lightly treed or wooded yards, attracting songbirds and enhancing privacy, tranquil nature views, and shade for significantly cooler al fresco enjoyment on hot summer days.
Much of the southwest side of the community offers deeply ravined topography offering spectacular views.
Bob Schmitt’s developments also include large common areas with recreation amenities. Forest Park residents enjoy a clubhouse, Olympic-sized swimming pool, wading pool, tennis court, half-basketball court, sand volleyball court, pickleball court, and a play structure located at 11610 Park Moss Ave (large yellow parcel on above map). The community also has a swim team for kids and teens.
Children and adults alike enjoy from an array of community social events throughout the year, fostering family togetherness.
Equestrian lovers will appreciate having several horse stables near the community entrance on Handle Rd with access to the Metroparks’ bridle trails along Valley Parkway.

The main entrance of Forest Park Dr has a long divided median with landscaping and masonry signage. The median continues along the entire length of the street.
