Willoughby is home to many auto-industry suppliers, which keeps the local economy humming. It also offers quick access to other major employers in nearby Cleveland.
One of the most attractive parts of this suburb, which dates back to 1798, is its historic downtown. Unlike some other Rust Belt towns, where entire blocks are filled with empty storefronts, Willoughby’s downtown is a lively gathering place with restaurants, wine bars, pubs, coffee shops and retail shops filling nearly every location.
