Richest areas? (Cleveland, Lakewood, Euclid: 2015, condos, home)

[Clevelander17]

Shaker Heights is the richest "big" suburb (over 25,000 people), and the second richest in the state behind Upper Arlington. Other than that, the money on the east side is in Hunting Valley, Gates Mills, Chagrin Falls, Hudson, Aurora, etc.

[BelieveInCleve]

Anyplace right on the lake is pretty rich. Even places in Lorain and Euclid have mansions along the lake. Westlake is pretty rich too.

However, it's all run together anymore anyway!

Actually, Bath is the "wealthiest" area in Summit county

I would have to say Hunting Valley. I think they actually have parameters on how much a property can be worth if it's within the boundaries.
I agree that old money lives in Shaker, although Shaker has very wealthy and not so wealthy all in the same town. Gates Mills and Moreland Hills are swanky too.
Geauga County actually has a household income average of 151K which is extremely high. Thus, Russell, etc would be lumped into that.

I think that money is all over Cleveland, even though they say it's not. Those are some areas that have more money than not, and less differential of a middle class.

I think these are all the communities in NE Ohio that made the top 100 list:

Interesting list. I'd be interested in seeing some of the unincorporated townships, like Bainbridge and Bath and where they stand.

What is interesting to me is that despite Columbus' reputation as having the best economy in Ohio, that the Cleveland area has far more places on this list. Dublin (Columbus burb) for it's "new money" reputation isn't even the wealthiest in C-bus, New Albany and Powell beat it.

Even frickin' Hills and Dales, in the Canton-Mass metro, beats New Albany.

Incomes seem low. I lived in Hudson and Chagrin (and Dublin). If I am looking correctly at link it is from 2000.

Don't forget about Chagrin Falls. I don't think any other town's city's in the state of ohio can beat chagrin fall's. There is another one as well that has not been talked about and that is Ottawa Hills in toldeo, ohio. Ottawa Hill's remind's me of a community out of a fairy land book. If I had the money that would be my first pick to live in Ohio. I love Ottawa Hill's !
