Why you'd want to live in Brecksville

Nestled in the lands of the Western Reserve, Brecksville was founded in 1811. It’s located at the southern border of Cuyahoga County in northeast Ohio, in the heart of rolling woodlands, approximately fifteen miles south of Cleveland. The City encompasses 19.54 square miles and the 2020 census reported that Brecksville had a population of 13,948, and it’s not much more than that now. We like being small. Perhaps the most distinguishable feature of Brecksville is that 1/3 of those 19.54 square miles are parkland including the “Metroparks,” also known as “The Emerald Necklace,” and the adjacent Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Brecksville has a small town atmosphere but also the benefits of a metropolitan complex are less than 30 minutes away. It’s a wonderful town to raise a family and comfortably age in place. via brecksville.oh.us
