With a population of almost 24,000 people, one of Cleveland’s most vibrant, sought-after suburbs sits adjacent to the Lake Erie shoreline. Located in Lake County, Willoughby offers something for everyone. We decided to take a deeper dive to find out what those somethings are. Here are five reasons why people love Willoughby.
It’s Minutes Away from the Beach

It may be December, but the shores of Lake Erie are open year-round. Headlands Beach State Park – Ohio’s longest stretch of natural sand beach – offers cross-country skiing and sledding throughout the winter months. Sunbathers, swimmers, jet skiers, and fishermen flock to Headlands during the summer to enjoy their favorite outdoor activities. From sun up to sun down, rock and glass collectors can be seen digging through the clear water and sand for unique finds.
Headlands Beach State Park is conveniently located 19 minutes away from Downtown Willoughby.

…And Minutes Away from Downtown Cleveland

You can’t live in Northeast Ohio without being a diehard fan of Cleveland sports. If you weren’t a sports fan before coming here, the sense of pride and community will help you assimilate rather quickly. While some folks prefer to watch a game from a dive bar, others would much rather head to one of the three stadiums downtown for the real deal.
Locates just 25 minutes west of Willoughby, Downtown Cleveland offers the locals a wide array of activities. Form celebrity chef Michael Symon’s new restaurant, Mabel’s BBQ, to JACK Casino and WinterLand, there’s no shortage of fun for all ages.
