Property tax · $330/mo 1.24% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Medina County, OH
Insurance & upkeep · $342/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Brunswick is a city in Medina County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Incomes run a little below the county's, and the typical home costs more than the typical rent would suggest for a long stay, which suits families who plan to settle. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Brunswick are The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Meijer Stores Limited Partnership and Foundations Health. Unemployment is lower than a year ago, and commutes are a bit long for many who work outside town, while some people work from home.
Things to do. For a day out, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park a longer drive away, good for walking and time by the Cuyahoga River. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one of the best known museums on the list, is also a longer drive away, and the Cleveland Museum of Art is another museum at the same distance. The Akron Art Museum is a further museum, also a longer drive away.
