My childhood was shaped by Rocky River and it's an ideal place for children. I went to a Catholic grade school and currently am in a Catholic high school which has helped me develop my faith. It's provided me with great educational opportunities! The diversity is low and could easily be improved, but it is getting a little better. There is a lot to do for such a small town which makes it a fun place to live!
I have lived in Rocky River my entire life and it has been a wonderful place to grow up. The city has always felt incredibly safe, I grew up with tons of kids on my street to play with, and my education at the schools has been great.
The only downside I can think of is the lack of diversity in the community. It is very noticable that the city is very white, and the student body at the schools reflects that. It's not uncommon for there to be no people of color in my classes, and only 1 or 2 in some other classes. There is also not much socioeconomic diversity. Overall all my peers seem to have grown up in mostly upper middle class families, so everyone is pretty well off.

Rocky River has a lot of charm and character. Living by the lake adds to the effect of a small town feel as a suburb of Cleveland.
The public schools of Rocky River are phenomenal, and have great district report cards every year.
The level of safety is great, too. Sometimes people call it "The Bubble" for how safe it is.
The small businesses of our city have people coming from both east and west sides of Cleveland and add great business to the small town we have.
