    "Can pretty easily drive to anywhere within northeast Ohio from Solon. Commuted for years to Cleveland, not much tragic except for snowy days which were slow. If you happened to take a job in Akron, Mentor or the west side, you could likely reach it within 45 minutes as well."

    "Plenty of sidewalks to walk your dog, and you'll meet many others while you're out and about. Definitely a pet friendly area, but if your dog doesn't play well with others it might be best to walk them earlier or later in the day. Typically only people who live in the neighborhood drive through it, so you usually don't deal with a lot of cars while you're out. If you like a nice, quiet neighborhood to take a stroll with your pets, this is an ideal location for you. "

Types of apartment in Solon, OH
