Solon Reviews
Rating 3.73 out of 5 106 reviews
I lived in Solon and surrounding communities for several years.
Solon is both an odd and oddly stressful town.
It has an extremely noticeable air of both pretentiousness and cut-throat competitiveness, but has little in the way of established culture or accomplishment to back up either of those things.
The town feels like middle-management personified. Wealthy and successful enough to be arrogant, but not so much so that it doesn't feel the need to constantly prove it. It's very "keeping up with the Joneses," just not on a level that is in any way impressive. (If you're looking for that, Chagrin Falls, Hudson, or Shaker Heights has some of that, but more of the benefits that go along with it.)
Schools are good, but culture, community, roots, etc, are all lacking. Hard pass.

I would like to see an increase in diversity and acceptance of culture. There are many types of people in this world, and communities like ours should begin to welcome diversity and change to create a hub of acceptance and growth!
It's a very boring city. There isn't much to do here if you live here. Instead of building more restaurants, banks, and parking lots, maybe create more green spaces and things that people would enjoy and host more free community events.
