Valleybrook Estates homes include ranch two-story styles that range from 2,800-6,500 square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and 2.5-6.5 bathrooms.
Being that homes were constructed by several builders, features will vary. Common amenities include extensive crown moulding, two-story foyers with open staircases and catwalks, hardwood/LVP flooring, fireplaced great rooms (some vaulted or two-story), formal dining rooms with tray ceiling, formal living rooms and/or private dens with glass-paned french doors, and first-floor laundry rooms with utility tubs.

Homesites along Valleybrook Dr begin at 106′ wide and range from 0.43 to 3.64 acres, with the average lot sized around 0.61 acres.
Some lots have a treeline along the back of the property or abut a treed neighboring property, offering privacy between homes.
Furnace Run (dashed blue line on above map), a tributary stream of the Cuyahoga River, meanders across a few properties.
Homeowner’s Association (HOA) fees at Valleybrook Estates are approximately $100 per year.

Preserve homes were developed and almost exclusively built by Perry Homes between 2001-2013.

Large homesites begin at 120′ wide and range from 0.88 to 2.76 acres.

Seven homes encircle 7.5 acres of partially wooded conservation land (yellow parcel on map above), offering extended views of nature.
Furnace Run (dashed blue line on above map), a tributary stream of the Cuyahoga River, meanders through five properties along the east end of Hollythorn Dr and two properties along Highland Dr. Generally considered an environmental asset, streams enhance the natural setting, offering scenic ravined topography and opportunities for wildlife viewing.
