Lakeside living near the conveniences of Cleveland

Suburban Charming Nature Lake

Willowick is only 16 miles east of Downtown Cleveland, but its location on the shores of Lake Erie provide a peaceful setting that’s far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The city’s name is a portmanteau of the neighboring communities, Wickliffe and Willoughby, and combines the urban amenities of those two cities with incredible waterfront views.

Charming small homes and cottages line Willowick’s streets. This is a predominately residential area, but there are a few shopping centers near the water that offer a selection of grocery stores and markets. Dudley Park and Roosevelt Park make for a fantastic afternoon in the mild Ohio summers. Dudley Park even hosts a community pool for those who lack access to the lake. Commuters delight in the nearby Lakeland Freeway, which makes a drive into the city simple.
