West Cleveland suburb on Lake Erie

Home to about 15,000 residents, Bay Village is an idyllic community 16 miles west of Downtown Cleveland along Lake Erie’s shoreline. It's a mostly residential city, with two shopping centers and acres of beautiful parklands including Huntington Reservation, a Cleveland Metropark with trails, beach access, historical sites, dining and education. Katie Manos, a 6-year Realtor and Bay Village local, says, “People move to Bay Village to be close to the lake for recreation, and the schools in town are fantastic. Overall, it’s a very safe, walkable community.”
