Population Estimate
About Parma…
Parma, a southwest suburb of Cleveland, was developed very quickly in the years following WWII, as the need for new housing in the Cleveland area was very significant. It benefits from close proximity to I-480 and the Jennings Freeway (Rt. 176), for access to downtown Cleveland as well as other suburbs on the west side and the east side.
Parma is a popular area for investors, and is very stable with a strong tenant base.
It has a housing stock that is almost exclusively single family houses and condominiums/apartments. A handful of duplexes and other multi-unit properties do exist on some of the older streets, but the vast majority of the housing is the cookie cutter cape cod or small colonial or ranch type “starter” house built in the 1950s, 1960s or later.
Parma does have a strong sense of community pride, and single family houses are generally very nicely maintained. Parma has a history of discrimination but anecdotes indicate that the severity of it has diminished considerably in recent decades.
