What it’s like

The place. Beachwood is a city of residents who are older than in most places, with incomes well above the county's and a very high share of adults holding a four-year degree. Fewer households own their homes than across much of the country, so renting is common alongside owning, and a typical home or apartment costs a good deal. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying near freezing, while July brings warm days, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Health care is the backbone of local employment, and the largest workplaces in Beachwood include UH Ahuja Medical Center, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Beachwood City Schools. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of residents work from home. Across Cuyahoga County, unemployment has fallen over the past year, though there are slightly fewer jobs than there were a year earlier.

Things to do. The Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History are both a short drive away, as is the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, a park for walking. For a ball game, Progressive Field is also a short drive. Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a larger outing for hiking and time outdoors, is a longer drive.
