Johnsons Field

Economic reasons, specifically suburban development. As the suburbs of Cleveland expanded westward into Avon, the value of the land for residential housing far exceeded its value as a private airstrip. This led to the sale and redevelopment of the property, a common fate for many small general aviation airports in growing metropolitan areas.

The site of the former Johnsons Field has been completely redeveloped and is now a dense residential housing development. The specific neighborhood is known as 'The Vistas'. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure. The land is entirely occupied by single-family homes and suburban streets, such as Vista Court and North Vista Drive.

Johnsons Field was a small, private general aviation airport that was active in the post-WWII era. First appearing on aeronautical charts around 1949, it featured a single north-south turf runway approximately 2,000 feet in length. The airport primarily served local private pilots for personal and recreational flying. It did not handle commercial or significant military operations. Its significance lies in being a representative example of the numerous small, privately-owned airfields that supported the growth of general aviation in the mid-20th century before being displaced by urban expansion. The identifier 'US-10423' is a non-official code used by some third-party aviation databases and was not an official FAA or ICAO designation.

None. The site is fully developed with residential housing. Reopening an airport at this location is impossible due to the existing land use, dense population, and surrounding infrastructure, which would make it both unsafe and impractical.
