Schumacher Place residents enjoy German Village lifestyle with a similar look, nightlife while offering lower priced homes with fewer restrictions. Schumacher Place resembles the village to the west, but there are no tough restrictions on what color you paint your home or what kind of windows can you put in.
According to the civic association, the name of the neighborhood comes from the Schumacher family, who owned and operated a dairy business there in the 1800's. The cows grazed in the neighborhood's southeast section between Sycamore and Whittier Streets. Today the neighborhood is a comfortable array of two-story homes. It's a neighborhood that offers walking distance to restaurants, bars, dry cleaning and more. A note....The "German Village" Giant Eagle is actually in Schumacher Place.
