It's a perfect place for families looking to buy a home and settle in - Congdon Park surrounds Congdon Park Elementary School, Ordean Middle School and East High School. This neighborhood is pleasing to the eye, boasting some of the city's most beautiful homes, many built around the turn of the century. No surprise - the neighborhood is named after millionaire businessman Chester Congdon, who built his home, Glensheen, on the lake side of London Road. There are some pretty places to spend an afternoon here, too - take a walk along Tischer Creek, and you'll feel like you stepped into a fairy tale.
