Residents of Stow are in prime health thanks to the close proximity of a half-dozen hospitals, including the renowned Cleveland Clinic. Folks stay fit by walking or biking the trails along the nearby Cuyahoga River, or de-stress by fishing in Silver Lake. Houses near the lake usually have three or more bedrooms, and typically range in price from $200,000 to $600,000.

Neighboring Akron provides shopping and entertainment, including performing arts and - for baseball fans, minor-league Aeros games.
