Shaker Is The Place

Each day in Shaker Heights presents new possibilities to engage with a profound and permeating ideal – that coming together is just the beginning. No notion is more prominent or evident in Shaker than that.

Our City is designed for gathering and connecting, empowering our residents – of all interests, backgrounds, and experiences – to join together and create a welcoming community defined by mutual understanding, intimacy, and authenticity.

We’re delighted to share our community with the world in a way that can truly by described as “authentically Shaker.” Ours is a story defined, created and told through the eyes of our residents. Discover our beloved schools, beautiful homes and parks, and the people who comprise the community.

Shaker Heights is the place where a house becomes a home, a city becomes a community, and neighbors become lifelong friends.

Environmentally Conscious

A deep connection to our environment is a defining aspect of what makes living in Shaker Heights different. Our residents enjoy an impressive tree canopy, 220+ miles of sidewalks, 15 miles of shared lanes for biking and running (and growing), community gardens, parks and parklands throughout the entirety of the city. Connect with the nature that soars all around with the best bird watching in Northeast Ohio at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.

The City is committed to maintenance of that environment. Efforts include sustainability planning, continual education on the changing recycling landscape, installation of solar panels at Shaker Heights High School, the care and replacement of trees when appropriate (part of our recognition as a Tree City by the National Arbor Day Foundation for the past 31 years). Living in Shaker Heights means appreciation for and stewardship of the natural world.
