What it’s like
The place. Cuyahoga Falls is a city in Summit County, Ohio, built around the Cuyahoga River in the Akron area. Incomes run a little above the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also employing a good share. Among the largest workplaces in Cuyahoga Falls are Cuyahoga Falls City Schools, GOJO Industries, which makes hand soaps, and Western Reserve Hospital. Commutes are of ordinary length, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a short drive away, and so are the Akron Art Museum and the Akron Zoo. For a bigger outing, Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum of Art are a longer drive away.
