Home values and rent in Mentor

Countywide, Lake County's median home value is $214,100 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — a Mentor-specific figure isn't independently published, so this reflects the whole county, not Mentor alone. Countywide, Lake County's median gross rent is $1,113/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — again, a county figure standing in for a Mentor number we don't have.

The county tax-drag math applies here

Mentor sits in Lake County, where the effective property tax rate is 1.50% — 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 Lake County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Mentor's own numbers:

Property value used: $214,100 (countywide)
Lake County effective tax rate: 1.50%
Estimated monthly property tax: $268

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.
