"small town life not far from the city"

Rocky River is one of the strongest communities on Cleveland's west side. Consistently one of the top ranked suburbs by Cleveland Magazine, Rocky River has great schools, a large remodeled community center, and has River/Lake access at CYC and Rocky River Park. Old River has a handful of unique small businesses, a few great restaurants within walking distance, and the most walkable section of Rocky River stretches north through Tangletown (Beachcliff I) to Lake Erie.
Pros
  • Old River Shopping Center
  • CYC
  • Salmon Dave's
Cons
  • Wooster Road
  • No nightlife
  • Little public access to lake

"A quiet little haven"

Jameston Dr. runs north-south. The beauty of this street is that it has a park at the end of it and it doesn't not go through to the next major east-west main street. This means it remains quiet and free of traffic The homes were built in the early 1950s and are all ranch-style homes with good size yards, front and back. The street is convenient to absolutely everything so you have the best of both worlds. You can get to a large shopping center, banks, restaurants, gas stations and a major highway within minutes but you can live in peace and quiet!
