I'm looking to move closer to Twinsburg(where I work and where my wife will probably working also) but I don't want to be in sprawl. Does anybody here live on the eastside of Cleveland or in the eastern suburbs and make the commute to the twinsburg/macedonia area? From the bit of info i've gathered the Drive from Shaker Heights wouldn't be to bad(according to mapblast).

This may sound crazy, but if you got a house in the village portion of Hudson, you'd be within walking distance of pretty much anything you could ever want and about a 10-minute drive to Twinsburg. Just a thought!

Hudson... urban?

I know it sounds crazy.

Hudson's historic town center is very walkable, and immediately adjacent to it on the west is Main Street Hudson, a new-urbanist style of development.

 

Another option is Bedford, which is just up old Route 14 (and new Route 14/I-480) from Twinsburg. Bedford is an old town center, with lots of retail up next to the sidewalks along the main drag.

I guess the question is how far you are willing to commute.  Twinsburg is unfortunately far from anything urban, though Hudson and Bedford have nice little old village areas.

When  I read the post the first place I thought was the center of Hudson.

I have a part time job in Hudson, and driving from Akron, I get to see Downtown Hudson on a daily basis on my way to Twinsburg. I didn't even really think about Hudson like that, I guess I could look at the town centers of Bedford and Twinsburg also.

According to Google Maps, it's a 23 minute drive to Twinsburg from Shaker Heights -- not too bad. But if you want to go even more urban, it's only 7 minutes longer minutes to Twinsburg from downtown/Tremont/Ohio City, because of all the highway access. And you'd be reverse commuting.

i drive from cleveland heights to just outside of chagrin falls to work, its not a bad commute, a little less than a half hour.

Wow, really?  It seems so much longer.

Cuyahoga Falls isn't that bad of a commute to Twinsburg, and it is somewhat of an urban suburb of Akron.

I remember my old headaches going from Shaker Heights to Valley View, and I don't imagine going to twinsburg being much more fun.

 

Ohio City/Downtown Might be a bit more tolerable since it will pretty much be freeway to freeway....

Kent...maybe 10-15 miles?

Drove from Twinsburg to Shaker Heights in about 25 minutes this morning. My wife and I will be searching here as well as the Akron area.
