Shaker Heights (pop: 29,405) is one of Ohio's most beautiful and famous suburbs.  Located southeast of Cleveland, it is the model for a street-car suburb.  Known for successful integration, middle to upper class, and various styles of housing (mostly Tudor), Shaker Heights is a must-see for anybody going to the Cleveland area.  The city is built inside a forest of four lakes and has winding streets, gorgeous ravines, and one of the best school systems in the country.  70% of Shaker Heights is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and while the Blue and Green lines of the RTA (The Rapid) light rail roar down the grand boulevards, Shaker Heights is a quiet community that blends nature with opulence.
