    Getting too big. Wish there were more if a concerted effort to preserve green space, still there are still some pretty spots. The downtown area is an eyesore of poor planning and land use with several empty strip malls that have no ascetic value. It's location close to Cleveland is nice for the convenience, but unfortunately it has come with an influx of people who want live in the "country" only to realize the house they and their neighbors just built has taken the country away. Still there are some good places too. Guido's pizza is a county landmark and there is a few good places to find an apple if you need one. Like any area there is good and bad, good people and bad people. If you don't like snow, Chesterland probably is not a good choice but if you like a semi rural area with decent schools and close proximity to Cleveland, then it is not a bad area.

    Chesterland is a city that reminds me of what America truly should be...friendly neighborhoods, low crime, privacy, and a great place to raise little ones. Highly rated as far as I'm concerned.
    A very nice small town with excellent schools. Very safe place to live with great restaurants. Not much nightlife, but it's quiet.
