Cleveland Rocks

At the heart of the north coast, anchoring the nation's 14th largest metropolitan area, and all within just minutes from the Flats East Bank neighborhood, explore a vast collection of some of the most unique cultural, social and economic jewels to be found anywhere.

Cleveland's priceless cultural infrastructure is the envy of many cities. It is home to one of the world's greatest orchestras, one of the nation's best art museums and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Playhouse Square is the second-largest theater complex in the United States, featuring a stunning collection of ornate, 1920s-vintage theaters.

Centrally-located Cleveland is good for business, within easy reach of the east coast as well as the midwest. A hub for Continental Airlines, Cleveland is home to Fortune 500 companies such as KeyBank, Sherwin Williams, Eaton Corporation, Parker-Hannifin, Progressive Insurance, American Greetings, National City Bank and more. Rapidly expanding medical and health care industries revolve around the world-class Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals. And, as one of a handful of port cities, Cleveland has a pin on the global map for companies and industries involved in trade and commerce.

Sports teams? Cleveland has them. Northeast Ohio's sports fans are extraordinarily loyal, packing cozy Progressive Field in hopes of seeing the Indians make it to the playoffs again or raising the rafters in Quicken Loans Arena where the Cavaliers' LeBron James floats high above the rim. Ever been to a Cleveland Browns game on an autumn afternoon? Words can't quite describe it.

If it's the outdoors that you like, sail upon a glass-smooth Lake Erie or take advantage of year-round activities in the vast MetroParks system and 33,000-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Anglers from the world over travel to the lake in hopes of landing their limit of tasty walleye. To the east and west you will find a burgeoning wine industry. Cleveland is a true American melting pot. The city boasts a wide collection of ethnic restaurants. During the summer and fall there is a seemingly endless offering of outdoor festivals and events. Take a stroll through the well-preserved, old-world West Side Market, just moments away and simply listen - your ears will fill with languages from around the world as your eyes feast on mountains of fresh and varied produce, meats and baked goods.

Cleveland is home to big-city amenities in a comfortable and accessible setting. It was ranked by The Economist magazine as one of North America's most livable cities.

A well-kept secret? Perhaps.

Cleveland. Big-city living without some of the big-city hassles.
