Waterfront community
Named for the pebbled coast of the river that borders it, Rocky River is a community on the shores of Lake Erie that abounds with waterfront recreation. Residents near the coast enjoy large lot sizes and access to private Parklawn Beach. Away from the water, classic homes sit on lots with well-maintained grass and sidewalks in front of them. “It has a small-town feel even though it’s about 21,000 people,” says Realtor Dawn Balog with Russell Real Estate Services, who lives in the area. “People are always out walking – with a dog if they have one – and many kids walk to school.” It might feel small, but residents are only 10 miles west of downtown Cleveland.
Some of the city's most prestigious homes reside where the Rocky River meets Lake Erie.
Rocky River residents often go for walks at Bradstreet's Landing.

Variety of housing styles
Buyers can expect Colonial Revival properties, ranch-style homes and contemporary builds. English Tudor influences are common, particularly closer to Lake Erie, where roads follow the shoreline, and private neighborhoods provide beachfront access. “There are grand homes, but you’ll also find midrise condominiums and townhomes. There’s an array of opportunities for anyone at any stage to move into this community,” says Balog. While the median price in Rocky River is around $690,000, this reflects a range of options from $100,000 condos to multi-million-dollar lakeside estates.
Tudor estates can be found in the Beach Cliff neighborhood in Rocky River.

Recreation near Lake Erie
Access to Lake Erie’s coast attracts those looking for waterside recreation. At Rocky River Park, visitors can picnic on the beach, and while there’s no swimming here, there’s an observation deck and weekly live music in the summer. Those who want water access can head to Wagar Beach. Kayaking, paddleboarding and canoeing are popular, and Bradstreet Landing Park has a spot where visitors can launch their vessels. Its brand-new pier is great for fishing or admiring the view.
There’s also outdoor activity away from the water. The residential Maplewood Avenue naturally extends into the entrance of Elmwood Park. As visitors drive in, they'll see a playground shaded by mature trees across from an open green space. There are also walking trails and two baseball diamonds. Westwood Country Club features an 18-hole golf course and, for members, a fitness center, tennis courts and a pool.
Rocky River Park, with its scenic overlook, is an ideal place for bird watching.
Many Rocky River locals fish for perch and bass at Bradstreet's Landing's fishing pier.
