One correction. The zip code for Harbor Hills is 43025, not 43076.
This is where I grew up. From 2nd (3rd?) grade till I graduated Lakewood High School. According to this, there are 10 houses with a value of $40,000 to $49,999. That must be the rate for taxes, only. I can't think of a house that would sell for under $100K when I left, and that was 28 years ago! Of course, during that time, because the EPA cracked down and said no more new septic tanks, there was a building moratorium until they finally got a sewer system in place. I really dispute the numbers of new houses, especially the '70s and '80s. That's when the building moratorium was on!
A little history is in order. Harbor Hills was a playground for the rich. The original houses weren't much more than summer cottages. The whole Buckeye Lake region was pretty much a playground, but people started moving in and actually staying during the winters. The older homes weren't too bad (our last house was a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom A frame) and pretty much had all the amenities of the time. Except for one thing, which was any kind of insulation! The gas bill for heating the house was tremendous (and we were already paying a big rent!) but we managed to afford it somehow.
It seems, from what I'm reading that Avondale, another subdivision due east of Harbor Hills is probably included in that (and why they put 43076 as the zip code!) Relevant Link Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 5/11/2004 03:22:00 PM
