Richfield is a great place to consider a move to. Its about 45 minutes from Cleveland and about 25 from Akron, all depending on traffic and construction. Its right next to the Cuyahoga Nat'l Park and it has a great school system. My neighbors that i lived by in Westlake from Buffalo, New York were just about ready to make the move to Richfield. They recently made the move, and i have heard many good things about the area. I just moved down to Mason, Ohio down by Cincinnati. Its a great area, very safe, not far from the cities, but it still is a nice small town.
Also, the area is a very upscale area. Homes range from half a million to two million. Its a very fast growing area as well. Many new housing developments and shopping centers have went in the last few years. Heres some more info:
