Home values and rent in Garfield Heights
Countywide, Cuyahoga County's median home value is $195,400 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — a Garfield Heights-specific figure isn't independently published, so this reflects the whole county, not Garfield Heights alone. Countywide, Cuyahoga County's median gross rent is $1,060/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — again, a county figure standing in for a Garfield Heights number we don't have.

The county tax-drag math applies here
Garfield Heights sits in Cuyahoga County, where the effective property tax rate is 1.80% — above Ohio's 1.36% statewide average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Cuyahoga County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Garfield Heights's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $195,400 (countywide)
- Cuyahoga County effective tax rate
- 1.80%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $293
That estimate uses an observed Ohio DSCR average of 7.20% (Q2 2026)¹ elsewhere in the full county example — this is a market observation, not an offer; your rate depends on your DSCR, credit, LTV and loan purpose, and is set by the lender, not by us.
