City of Solon Honors
Solon named 2013 Best Place to Raise Kids in Ohio by Businessweek.com. Businessweek teamed up with Bloomberg Rankings to evaluate more than 3,200 places nationwide with populations between 5,000 and 50,000. Public school performance and safety were weighed most heavily.

Solon selected by Cleveland Magazine as Cleveland's No. 2 Suburb: Solon offers a wealth of city services to a diverse population (it has the most racial and ethnic diversity among our top 10 suburbs). The city's housing values have stayed resilient through the economic downturn. But it's the strong schools, which take the No. 1 spot in our education rankings again this year, that really bring the community together. "Everybody has a great working relationship," says Mayor Susan Drucker. "Whether it's arts, sports or education, we work together to maintain that. The success of the city and our schools go hand in hand."
