Glenwillow has only about 1,000 residents who live in a village with a rural vibe, while still having access to amenities fit for an area twice its size. It's a small town, with big lots and a top-tier school district. "We're part of the Solon School District," says Glenwillow Mayor Mark A. Cegelka. "We have about 200 students between kindergarten and high school who attend. It's a very well-run school district that's very well-respected. It regularly ranks in the top five-to-10 in the state."

Students can attend Grace L. Roxbury Elementary School through fourth grade before spending the next two years at Orchard Middle and another two years at Solon Middle. They attend Solon High School for ninth-through-12th grade. All four schools receive an A-plus rating on Niche.

When it comes to residential lot sizes, the mayor explains, this is a part of Glenwillow's appeal. "One reason people look to our village is that most of the lot sizes are bigger than in your standard suburb. Ours are at least an acre or larger." The area has a spacious, yet suburban feel. You can enjoy this extra space in house styles ranging from modest ranches and split-levels to expansive recent construction. Colonial-style architecture can be seen on the exterior of the homes here, no matter the size. Prices can range from $250,000 to $600,000 or more.

The mayor takes pride in what the village of Glenwillow offers its residents. "We have free mulch given to the residents each year. It's donated by Republic Services and the village delivers it directly to the residents," Cegelka says. "We also have a $1,000 scholarship for students that graduate from high school. And there's senior snow plowing and free rubbish pickup."

Glenwillow's land is split between residential streets and industrial areas. "Glenwillow was a company town, then we redeveloped a lot of the land, which includes a lot of industry that provides us with a good tax base," Cegelka says. Amazon and Superior Beverage Group are among the warehouses there, as is the Glenwillow Substation. Dotted amid the warehouses are the village's few shops and restaurants. Iron-Oak Fitness is the neighborhood gym providing encouragement in their zero-judgment workout facility. Take a look, whether you prefer to sweat it out on your own or get some assistance from their personal trainers.

Pull up a chair near the stone-walled fireplace at Glenwillow Grille as they serve up flatbread pizzas and handhelds. Their happy hour lasts from 3-6 p.m. if you're looking for a pre-dinner nip. Dolphin Restaurant has been a community staple for over 30 years. Here you can order American cuisine, breakfast, lunch or dinner, or choose an on-the-go option from their express menu.

"Glenwillow is a great place for walking," Cegelka says. "We put trails along Tinkers Creek going south, and we'll soon be putting another trail in along Richmond Road." Tinkers Creek snakes its way through the village and provides a beautiful centerpiece to the private campground owned by the International Order of Odd Fellows. The creek also runs alongside Donald Norman Payne Recreation Complex, the village park beside City Hall. "We're redeveloping that park," Cegelka adds. "There's a train depot we've moved there, a pavilion, and we'll soon be adding a veterans' memorial."

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
