What it’s like
The place. Boston Heights is a small village in Summit County, and it is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Residents are older than in most communities, incomes run well above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values are high. Winters are cold, with January highs just above freezing and nights well below it, while July is warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and banking, insurance and property. Within the village itself, some of the largest workplaces are Arhaus Logistics - Boston Heights, a warehousing operation, Structural Building Systems, a commercial and institutional building contractor, and ADESA : Cleveland, which deals in motor vehicles. Commutes are fairly ordinary in length, and a good number of people work from home. Across Summit County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. Cuyahoga Valley National Park lies in or beside town, which puts a national park close to home for walking and time outdoors. Brandywine Creek, a river, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum of Art, both museums.
