What it’s like

The place. Rocky River is a city on the west side of the Cleveland area, where the river that gives it its name runs in or beside town. Residents tend to be older than in many places, and household incomes run well above the county's, with fewer people living below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, or in manufacturing, banks and insurance. Within the city, Rocky River City Schools and Heinen's grocery stores are among the largest workplaces. Commutes are fairly short, and a good share of people work from home.

Things to do. The Rocky River itself is close at hand for walks along the water. A short drive brings you to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a museum on the Cleveland lakefront, and to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. A longer drive leads to Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
