Easygoing Cleveland suburb
Set on Lake Erie, Willowick is an easygoing suburb with a casual character. Residents can enjoy a picnic while watching the sun set over the lake or gather with friends to catch up at a local restaurant. “It’s a very nice town, and it has a little bit of everything. It’s big enough that you have choices of where to eat and shop, and we have smaller independent stores too,” says Gale Lippucci, Library Associate at Willowick Public Library and Willowick native. “Willowick is an affordable place to live, shop, eat and have fun.”

No beach access to Lake Erie
Lake Erie is the scenic backdrop of the neighborhood, but there is no beach access in Willowick. The shoreline drops off steeply into brush, making swimming in the area dangerous. Instead, residents prefer to fish or simply enjoy the lake views.
